He's not fierce like Boris, tough like Ethel or sneaky like Walter. Finn is thoughtful and caring and polite. So, when the King sends the knights on a quest into the monster-ridden Dark Wood, Finn stays behind. But despite being fierce and tough and sneaky, the other knights fail to complete the mission. It's up to Finn to help the King! But what is a knight to do when he is polite and does not fight? A story that reminds us that a true hero is compassionate, gentle and kind.' (Publication summary)
