Front flap:
"Hold on adventure-lovers! - the Time Warp Trio is about to make history as it's never been before! But from the way that knight in black armor is bearing down on them with the giant shish-kebab skewer, they may not live to tell about it. How did they end up at King Arthur's court, anyway?
"It all started with The Book, a birthday present from Joe's magician uncle. One minute they're looking at knights, the next minute they're battling fire-breathing dragons and vile-smelling giants..."

A++ seller. CharmedBookshop generously refunded partial shipping charges since items could be packaged together. The books themselves are in perfect condition and arrived gift wrapped with a personal note, along with a bookmark. Thank you so much!
