The Imagination Station #4: Revenge of the
Red Knight
In this Imagination Station adventure Patrick and Beth find
themselves as guests in a beautiful castle in 15th century England.
Through a series of events, the steward of Lord Darkthorn's castle
finds the cousins with three artifacts collected in their previous
adventures: the stone, the cup, and the golden tablet. They are
accused of being thieves and locked in jail. Beth escapes and
discovers the identity of the real thief, leading to a jousting
contest with a surprising outcome.
Set during the War of the Roses in
England, Revenge of the Red Knight will teach readers about the
Crusades, the integrity of knights and the vows they took, and why
men would choose to risk their lives to fight for Christianity.
