Title: Sir Hugo and the Dwagon Length: 2,900 words
A fearsome dragon, as big as a house and as long as a street, is terrorising the villages around the Dark Wood. The knights of Hamelot leap into action… and remember urgent appointments, dry-cleaning and an aunt coming for tea.
That leaves Sir Hugo, the youngest and bravest of them all. But when he finally pokes the beast awake, it insists it isn’t a dragon at all. It’s a dwagon, and dwagons are sweet as can be.
So which is it? Only a cackling witch and her terrible song hold the answer.
Title: Sir Hugo and the Tournament Length: 2,300 words
Sir Hugo’s armour has shrunk (it definitely isn’t the cake), and his piggy bank is empty. So when a jousting tournament offers a purse of gold coins, he signs up at once.
But there’s a mysterious new knight on the list. The Black Knight wins every joust, and nobody can land a single blow on him. It’s as if he isn’t quite there at all…
With the help of his short-sighted friend, Sir Colin, Sir Hugo sets out to uncover the trick before the final joust.
