It is told in a storyteller fashion by several observers of these magical children. William is a young monk with supernatural strength. Jacob is a Jewish boy who can heal all wounds. Jeanne is a peasant girl who has visions of the future, and is accompanied by her resurrected dog, Gwenforte. The children face perils that include a dragon with deadly farts, a lying monk and finally, an army of knights.
The illustrations by Hatem Aly accompany the story, adding to its fireside charm.
It is worthy to note the inspiration for the story, as many of the characters (including the holy dog) are based on real characters, events and legends from the Middle Ages. Be sure to stick around to read the Author's note.
