GoodKnyght! is a 2001 fantasy novel written by Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore, (known as The Two Steves) as the first part of the Tales of The Dark Forest series. [1] Its sequel, Whizzard! was released in 2002.
Willum is a swineherd and whipping boy for Symon, the son of the city's High Lord. Aspiring to become a knyght, he dreams of attending Knyght School. After participating in a tournament on Symon's behalf, Willum is granted the opportunity to enroll.
During his journey, Willum encounters several characters, including Rose, a girl who lives in the forest; Luigi, an Italian restaurateur; Humfrey the Boggart, a Pryvate Inquestigator with a speech impediment; a sarcastic Harp; and a wizard known as the Runemaster, who possesses the Dragonsbane—a magical stone capable of accessing a dragon’s mind. When the Dragonsbane is stolen, Willum, Rose, and the Harp embark on a quest to recover it from the Ragged Mountain.
