Meet the Traügs. Quixotic Mushroom Knights of the English woodland who live and die by an ancient code:

To live by honour and for glory.

To never refuse a challenge from an equal.

To protect the weak and defenceless.

To guard the honour of fellow knights.

To refrain from the wanton giving of offence.

To despise payment and fight for the welfare of all.

To reject unfairness, meanness and deceit.

To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun.

When Mowlip Thistle warriors unleash an ancient threat, the Traügs are outmatched. Now the cowardly dissident Fidget must retrieve The Shield of Erebus and rediscover the missing part of the Knight's code.

The Shield of Erebus is a lavishly illustrated 12,000 word fantasy adventure poem following Fidget's journey as he discovers seven virtues: Courage, Wisdom, Justice, Temperance, Faith, Love, and Hope - only to find that something else is needed to defeat the darkness.

Written in a fun, bouncy accessible style The Shield of Erebus is suitable for children as young as seven to mature adults.
