An epic quest, a dragon, a knight in shining armor . . . Discover the classic medieval fantasy book for kids ages 8-12!

A magical toy castle takes 10-year-old William on a wild fantasy adventure that teaches him the true meaning of courage.

When his beloved caretaker Mrs. Phillips tells him she's leaving, William is devastated. Not even her farewell gift of a model medieval castle helps him feel better—though he has to admit it’s fascinating. From the working drawbridge and portcullis to the fully-furnished rooms, it's perfect in every detail. It almost seems magical.

And when William looks at the silver knight, the tiny figure comes to life in his hand—and tells him a tale of a wicked sorcerer, a vicious dragon, and a kingdom in need of a hero. Hoping the castle's magic will help him find a way to make his friend stay, William embarks on a daring quest with Sir Simon, the Silver Knight—but he will have to face his own doubts and regrets if he's going to succeed.

This classic children’s fantasy book has enchanted readers since it was first published in 1985. See William’s story continue in The Battle for the Castle, available as a redesigned companion edition.
