The Knights and the Great Bonfire
Bjørn F. Rørvik
It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and Sir Bang has been given the important task of lighting the great Midsummer bonfire. It’s a huge honour, but he’s dreading it! What if he can’t get the fire lit? Maybe he’d better practise a bit beforehand. Turns out that it's not hard at all to get the fire started, but it's definitely impossible to to stop it again...
Sir Bang and his fellow knight Sir Rosebush head into the forest, but before they know it, they’ve been sent to Klampenburg Castle to look for Zippo, the Dragon’s little nephew. Zippo has been kidnapped by none other than Blackbeard, the wickedest robber in the country!
It turns into quite the trek. The horses are on strike, so the knights have to use the horse-replacement service –cows! When they finally arrive, they’re keener on spending time at the robbers’ market, with its almost-authentic rubies and rabbit’s feet, than on infiltrating the band of robbers and saving Zippo. But fortunately, help arrives from an unexpected quarter…
