Big George and the Seventh Knight

It is the Year of Our Lord 1305, and our hero Big George is still sleeping. Until a knight-in-training (Walter) on the run and desperately seeking a hiding place literally drops in on George... Once woken George really isn't quite sure what is happening, but he likes the look of Walter - and even though he can't understand Walter's sorry tale of wrongful imprisonment and running for his life, he decides to stick with him. On the way they pick up Jo, a determined young poacher who is determined to gain her freedom, and together they journey into adventures that climax with the Midsomer Tournament and Walter desperately throwing down a challenge to defeat all the knights at the jousting tournament in order to save his father's life. A marvellously colourful depiction not only of medieval life, but also of honour, bravery and the completely unexpected effect that Big George always has on those around him...
