Our brave knight is bereft. In a stoush with a dragon he has lost his bottom! How can he win the heart of his princess without his rear end?

For years he’d dreamt of a partner, a princess that he knew.
But would she want him now that he was cheek-less through and through?

A knight who couldn’t gallop? A knight who couldn’t canter?
He didn’t think he’d win her heart with just his witty banter.

His hopes were raised when one day when he sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a bum shop. Oh, the excitement when he sees the queue for so many to buy bums of their own! There are so many cheeks to choose from! Will he find a perfect fit for his derrière and win his princess’s heart?

This hilarious story is a laugh on every page. The rhyming text makes reading aloud a joy and Charlotte Bruijn’s colourful illustrations fill every the page from corner to corner.

The Knight With No Bottom is a good fun, giggly story. Who doesn’t love a bottomless tale?
