The brave apprentice (1st Aladin Paperbacks ed.)

A tailor's apprentice finds himself waging a war against a gang of trolls. "Seven at one blow!" That's what they say about the Brave Little Tailor -- he killed seven foes with one blow.

But no one can prove it's even true. Besides, that took place a long time ago, and the Brave Little Tailor is now an old man.

So what happens when an army of angry trolls invades his kingdom?

Meet Patch Ridlin. He's a tailor's simple apprentice in the remote village of Crossfield.

He's a hard worker who's never wanted for much, except maybe a little adventure.

But when he rescues his friend Osbert from an aging and decrepit troll, Patch finds himself something of a town hero.

Word of his bravery quickly spreads throughout the countryside, and Patch is summoned to the king's castle.

King Milo needs his help to wage war on a gang of trolls threatening to destroy the kingdom.

Soon Patch finds himself engaged in an all-out battle against the trolls.
