THE PEN AND THE ANVIL

La plume et l’enclume | Jean Leroy & Nicolas Haverland | Frimousse, France | 48 pp | 18 x 22 cm

Marion is a knight’s armor repairer, and Jehan, son of Robert of Saint-Nicolas, Duke of Hauts-de-France, a knight against his will… Indeed, Jehan’s only interest is poetry. But rhymes are unfortunately of little use to him in the battles he must fight… So Marion busies herself by adjusting, as best as she can, the armor of Jehan who is about to set off into battle. He’s about to challenge the Black Knight. A tough-skinned knight! Clad in enormous, impeccable, and terrifying armor. Words clashing with the strength of weapons… Who will win this terrible duel?
