The Adventures of Sir Balin the Ill-Fated by Gerald Morris, 94 pages
(Book 4 of "The Knights' Tales" series)

What would you do if you were given a prophecy that you would: 1. Become the noblest knight, but your greatness would only bring calamity. 2. You'd never refuse an adventure and be bravest of all knights, but you'd destroy the knight you love most in the world? When the prophecies start to come true one by one, Balin panics and tries to flee from his destiny. The result is a silly story that will keep young kids laughing at Balin's antics. Each story in the series is about different knights. They are: "The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great", "The Adventures of Sir Givret the Short" and "The Adventures of Sir Gawain the True"
