Terry Jones is known for his work with Monty Python, his stories for children and his medieval books. Here he uses his inimitable comic imagination and originality to combine all three of these elements to create a perfect story for children and grown-ups alike. Deep in the Crusades, Tom has run away from home to discover what the noble life of a knight is really like. But now that his dreams have come true and he has been knighted, all is not as rosy as he’d hoped.  The Tyrant and the Squire is a glorious adventure for fans of Terry's previous works, as well as Horrible Histories, King Arthur, and Monty Python.  "Jones has used his formidable and extensive comedic talents to write a hilarious, fast-paced adventure story full of historical detail. . . . Reminiscent of Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide" series, only set in medieval times and suitable for young children . . . a rollicking good time for all." — School Library Journal  on  The Lady and the Squire Terry Jones  is best known as a member of the Monty Python comedy troupe. His previous books include Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book , Terry Jones' Medieval Lives , Who Murdered Chaucer? , and The Saga of Erik the Viking .
