Deep in the dark woods, two most
peculiar knights lived in their castles
back in the old days of unicorns and
fire-spitting dragons. The one -
noble Sir Erik - is smart but weak.
The other one - just as noble as Sir
Roderik - is furious and strong as an
ox. As different as they may be and
despite the fact their families have
been enemies for generations, Erik
and Roderik share one thing: they
both are not really keen on knightly
military profession and war. This
incredibly funny book tells of how
they defend their unconventional
lifestyle against King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table and how
they play the funniest tricks on each
other (for a bit of diversion).
