A wonderful story about a new sibling, by the creator of the bestselling Hugless Douglas.
A stunning sequel to the award-winning title The Kiss That Missed, which sold over 300,000 copies.
The lovable and haphazard knight is back on another quest. This time he must find the finest feathers in the kingdom to fill the royal pillow and stop the little princess making that terrible noise!
'Melling's illustrations are as snazzy and snappy as his prose.' The Guardian
