About This Book

The story follows three farm boys who, after finishing the haying and receiving pay, decide to celebrate by inventing a knightly campaign on wheels. They borrow or adapt bicycles, plan a sunrise departure, and set out as self-declared knight-errants seeking adventure and opportunities to help others. The narrative sketches their rural community, playful imaginations, tests of resourcefulness and loyalty, and the small rites of passage that mark growing boyhood.
