`'It continues to epitomise the thrill of reading itself' ' The Book Bag `'The Gauntlet provided an escape from dull post-war Britain into a world of knights, banquets and jousting. It will most definitely have the same appeal to young readers today.' Historical Novel Society `'The story is still fresh and appealing ... features the original black and white illustration which bring the story and era vividly to life. It is an exciting read'' Carousel (The Guide to Children's Books)
