Sir Gillygad and the Gruesome Egg by Reg Down

Sir Gillygad is a knight, a doughy knight who rides about on his trusty frog called Gorf.  They venture forth on adventures bold and exciting:  to the Twinkle, to Holey Hill, to the Plain of Dreams—even as far as World's End.  Then rumors are heard, rumors of an egg, a Gruesome Egg, with two leggs, a left leg and a right leg, and the leggs were bird’s leggs—which makes sense in an eggy sort of way.  It is haunting the Daark Forest close to the Mumbly Mews and the gerwine Greneff.  So off Sir Gillygad gallops (well, hoppedy-hops), there to meet and confront this unique and remarkable beast. Sir Gillygad and the Gruesome Egg is an adventuresome tale, suitable for children aged 9 to 12 or thereabouts—and adults too, if they still are young at heart and open to the wonders that speak to the mystery of life and becoming. 59 illustrations + 23 capitals, 6x9 format, soft cover, 168 pages.
