The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt is an epic, gripping, adventure-fantasy about Tiuri, a young boy who abandons his quest to become a knight to fulfil a dying man’s request. He must deliver a letter – upon which the fate of the kingdom depends – to King Unauwen who lives beyond the Great Mountains. Tiuri must travel incognito, trusting no one, and above all, keeping the letter secret. Published in 1962 and originally written in Dutch, Dragt’s evocative prose will transport readers to a captivating world of forests and castles, knights and ladies, enemies and friends.
