Sir Gadabout And The Ghost

Sir Gadabout And The Ghost

by Martyn Beardsley (Author), Martyn Beardsley (Author), Tony Ross (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Sir Gadabout nods off at the Round Table, and wakes up to find himself in the same room as a ghost! At first, the ghost of Sir Henry makes Sir Gads clank his armour with fright, but he soon recovers his spirits and sets off of another calamitous quest - to clear Sir Henry's name of the ghastly crime of pilchard-stealing. Another side-splitting adventure, with Sir Gads, his trusty squire Herbert and Merlin's sarcastic ginger cat, Sidney Smith, raising a riot in Camelot.
