Notes by Rachel Louise Lawrence

  

“The King’s daughter, the Princess Gemdelovely must be given to the Stoorworm.”


Assipattle and the Mester Stoorworm relates the tale of a Kingdom besieged by a gigantic sea-serpent and the battle between Assipattle, a most unlikely hero, and the Stoorworm, as Assipattle seeks to save Gemdelovely, the daughter of the King.
