Kit Bristol is pulled into the role of highway man Whistling Jacke, a la The Dread Pirate Roberts in the Princess Bride, after his master dies. Inheriting the costume, horse, and unclear mission, Kit is set off on a swashbuckling adventure with a half-fae princess, a baboon, and a tight-rope walker.

This tale was a lot fun, but I wish more of the adventures were intentional versus simply encountered along the road. I also didn't feel like some of the characters were as fleshed out as I'd like (Morgana especially). But, I would recommend for fans of The Princess Bride or Stardust. There was a fun use of old language and great illustrations.
