Sixteen-year-old Tiuri must spend hours locked in a chapel in silent contemplation if he is to be knighted the next day. But, as he waits by the light of a flickering candle, he hears a knock at the door and a voice desperately asking for help. A secret letter must be delivered to King Unauwen across the Great Mountains—a letter upon which the fate of the entire kingdom depends. Tiuri has a vital role to play, one that might cost him his knighthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tiuri's journey will take him through dark, menacing forests, across treacherous rivers, to sinister castles and strange cities. He will encounter evil enemies who would kill to get the letter, but also the best of friends in the most unexpected places. He must trust no one. He must keep his true identity secret. Above all, he must never reveal what is in the letter . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Letter for the King\u003c\/i\u003e is the thrilling story of one boy’s battle against evil, set in an enchanted world of chivalry, courage, and true friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eTonke  Dragt was born in Jakarta in 1930 and spent most of her childhood in  Indonesia. When she was twelve, she was interned in a camp run by the  Japanese occupiers, where she wrote (with a friend) her very first book  using begged and borrowed paper. Her family moved to the Netherlands  after the war and, after studying at the Royal Academy of Art in The  Hague, Dragt became an art teacher. She published her first book in  1961, followed a year later by \u003ci\u003eThe Letter for the King\u003c\/i\u003e, which won  the Children's Book of the Year award and has been translated into  sixteen languages.
