Sir Charlie Stinkysocks and the Really Big Adventure
Author(s): Kristina Stephenson (Illustrator)
The first in a hilarious picture book series about a brave boy knight
Once upon a time, there was a dark forest, where monstrous trees groaned, terrible beasties moaned, and wiggly woos waited to tickle your toes. Nobody went there until . . .
Sir Charlie Stinkysocks, his good grey mare, and his pet cat decide the time has come for a big adventure. Sir Charlie packs his best sword and his sandwiches and off he goes, across the hills and far away, until he gets to the deep, dark forest. Sir Charlie doesn't flinch when he meets the beasties, or the dragon, or the wily witch, but when he comes across the princess, he realizes he's met his match.

Kristina Stephenson Kristina Stephenson trained as a set and costume designer. She had a successful career in Theatre and Children's TV until she had her children. Wanting to stay at home with them, she turned to illustration. She has illustrated many non-fiction books. Inspired to write this picture book by her own son Charlie (who doesn't have stinky socks), she showed it to a friend in the book trade. Thankfully for us, he recommended that she send it to Egmont. With a change in artwork style, it's clear that a rare and exciting new picture book talent has emerged. Kristina lives with her husband, who is a musician, and her son and daughter in Wiltshire.
