Illustrated by Ib Ohlsson
Sir Philbert Fitzhugh was not very brave.
In the summer he looked after his fields and saw to the haying or went for rides on his horse . . . "After all," he said, "I am the only one of me I have, and I have to take care of myself."
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Nevertheless, the doctor came.
"You're getting flabby," he said. "You ought to get more exercise."
The doctor orders Sir Philbert to go on an adventure to search for the emperor's daughter.
Sir Philbert kills the giant with flying blankets; scares the cockatrice with a mirror and an enchanter with determination. He gets the girl not because he is especially brave but because is extraordinarily resourceful.
I would expect nothing less than a common sense hero from Mr. Jay Williams!
