Exhausted from his crusades, our hero, Sir Cedric the Good, decides he and his men should vacation in Jerusalem. Accompanying them is his lovely wife, Lady Matilda, and their daughter, Edwina the Fair, who is secretly known as Edwina the Pest because of her very unladylike ways. They make it as far as Palestine with nary mishap, but there pesty Edwina decides to go exploring. Lady Matilda is frantic with worry, and quite vexed when she finds Edwina, until--egads!--they are both captured by evil Abdul the Heavy. Will Edwina have to marry Abdul? Will Lady Matilda become his cook? Or will Sir Cedric save the day and come to their rescue? Of course he will! Beautifully detailed watercolor illustrations enhance this lively tale.
