AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Noel Biffin, son of a tinsmith, wants to be a king, and neglects his schoolwork in daydreams. But one evening, when he has been kept back in school again and the usher is snoozing, a small figure in full armour appears through the school window, claiming to be one of Noel's subjects.
