Without a doubt this everso slightly bonkers book is one of the funniest, most original and random pieces of children’s literature you will read this year! There was just so much to keep any reader immersed and focussed right to the end. The perfect book for personal reading at home or before bed, but also a great addition to any school library too. Knight Sir Louis and the Dreadful Damsel, the first book in the series is out in August. Perfect for fans of the Treehouse Books, Barry Loser and Kid Normal, it's a completely bonkers story about the bravest boy knight and his adventures to save Squirrel Helm. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your AMAZING visit! The children and staff LOVED it and were so excited to see you and hear everything you had to say. We all really appreciate the time you gave, the different elements of the session and the brilliant resources you've shared. There is a real buzz around the classrooms and corridors and much excitement!' Absolutely hilarious nonsense. I even forgive them for spelling my name wrong in the title, that’s how funny it is. ― Louie Stowell, author of the LOKI: A BAD GOD’S GUIDE series

And there are plenty of other things happening. Like with a certain wizentor (was that the word) and what the Sinister Snowball is planning, or how King Burt goes a bit loopy in the head (even more than normal). Oh and Sharon! Hi Sharon! There are songs for walruses and a flying robot horse. Knight Sir Louis, by the Brothers McLeod, is a book that plays with the convention of being a book, as much as does tell a very funny, beautifully random story about a brave Knight who must defeat the huge robotic Damsel, and various other nefarious baddies causing mayhem in the kingdom of King Burt the Not So Bad. King Burt the Not Bad is in a huff with his chief dragon-slayer, Knight Sir Louis. So when a stranger with piercing green eyes and a devastating smile arrives at Castle Sideways, King Burt is thrilled and demotes Louis to chief cleaner. But Louis is suspicious about the stranger, Squire Lyme, with his charming compliments and endless supply of green gummies … with the help of his friends Reader Catalogue, Pearlin, his haiku-loving steed, Clunkalot as well as a few ogres and gnomes, our hero determines to get to the slimybottom of things …can Louis’ calm courage once again save the day? Myles and Greg will cover the principles of creating an animated TV show. Creating compelling characters. Design. Storyboarding. Animation. Post production. Drawing on their BAFTA winning experience from more than two decades of making animation for TV, short film and online. We are happy to talk to a single class at a time, or a group. We’ve done up to 300 at once. 150 works well.This storyline and plot was brilliant and I loved all the intricacies of the plan, the journey and the final battle. Charge into this hilarious and totally bonkers new series from BAFTA award-winning duo, The Brothers McLeod - perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and Mr Gum. Knight Sir Louis finds himself dealing with strong enchantments and powerful magic (as well as potatoes...) and the machinations of his soon to be arch-enemy-nemesis: the Stripy Knight. Knight Sir Louis – storytelling and illustration workshop based on the Knight Sir Louis book series – key stage 2 Circle Square is an animated comedy about neighbours. Vanessa the Dragon, owner of the rainbow lighthouse, helps out with everyday dilemmas and each episode features a different friend needing her help (and sometimes she needs theirs!) The nine households in the community include a yeti, a family of emergency service owls, a keyboard and a drum, a family of wizards, a grumpy dog, an elderly adventuring bear and a couple of walking, talking pine trees. Their companionship also extends to neighbouring islands in the archipelago of the Wyndley Isles, and to friends and family who come to visit them.

The Brothers McLeod are BAFTA award-winning illustrator-animator Greg and screenwriter Myles. They have written, produced and directed short films, children’s series and other original animations. They have worked on projects for Disney, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Science Museum (London), the BBC, Aardman Animation and many more. There are hilarious illustrations, laugh-out-loud comedy moments and a very inventive story that appears to centre around how evil potato magic is. Yep, that’s right. Evil potato magic. That alone should give you an idea about how cool this middle-grade comedy fest of a book is! A ... huge thank you for coming to the Oxford Literary Festival last week and for the brilliant event. It was so much fun, and a terrific celebration of creativity. I know the grown-ups enjoyed it almost as much as the younger members of the audience, and they had an absolute ball!' The second in the series about Knight Sir Louis, readers will love returning to this bonkers world! In this book something ominous is happening again, it is getting colder and colder! Something strange is coming from the north. Are those snowball with eyes? I was invested! I needed to know what or who The Sinister Snowball is (and yes, he is really a snowball a very big one even) and what his plans were (sinister plans of course, but what was he planning for the planet/home of Knight Sir Louis). I loved reading about the various towns and parts of the world before it came close to Knight Sir Louis home/castle of King Burt. There are still so many places to explore and I hope we do so in next books (and maybe did in the previous books, I guess I got to get reading, haha).

Advance Praise

Thank you ... so much for the virtual visit today. The children really enjoyed it and spent the afternoon devising exciting stories for their own heroes.' Knight Sir Louis has defeated dragons, goblins and evil wizards but when he is sent to do battle with Borax the Dragon, even he is not prepared for the mayhem that follows …the second in the series which started with KNIGHT SIR LOUIS AND THE DREADFUL DAMSEL!
