Letter to the King has been chosen to be the all-time most popular Dutch children book in the Netherlands. This is quite a remarkable feat, because youth literature in the Netherlands is of high quality.
The book is a coming-of-age story. A young man is asked to fulfill a dangerous quest on the night he is supposed to meditate on the duties of knighthood and should not speak for that knight, praying in a chapel and has to pray.
Then comes the knock on the door and the key-sentence: 'in the name of God, help me.' And Tiuri has to decide at app. page 2 what he has to do, give up his dream of becoming a knight by breaking his vows, or stay put.
What this series has to do with the book is a riddle.
The idea of suggesting that this series has anything to do with the book is a pure disgrace.
But hey, we're only in it for the money now aren't we.
