And a Pig Was Knighted!
What's the story behind my little pink friend's rise from a fun-loving pig to being knighted by the Queen of England? Spencer was just a young pig living a life of leisure, playing with his friends every day without a care in the world. Suddenly, everything changes with the arrival of mean Captain Nastybeard and his band of pirates. This is where Spencer shows his true colors of bravery and resourcefulness as he fights the pirates and makes way for Admiral Snout to wrap it up. Lucky for Spencer he was an excellent student in his fencing classes. After Admiral Snout tells the Queen what part Spencer played in capturing the pirates, the Queen knighted him for 'acts of bravery'...thus was born Sir Pigglesworth. Spencer is a kind young piglet who loves his mom and dad and his friends. He’s very likable and everyone wants to be around him. He especially develops a close relationship with Admiral Snout. To show how much Spencer has wiggled his way into Admiral Snout’s heart, he gives Spencer two of his most treasured possessions: his goggles and scarf given to him by his father. Spencer is a kind-hearted young pig who captures the hearts of all who meet him. You can meet him at www.sirpigglesworth.com
Book Excerpt
Sir Pigglesworth's Adventures in Pigonia (Sir Pigglesworth Adventure Series, #4)
An eagle-eyed piglet threw a mud ball right in the pirate’s good eye. Spencer and his friends kept throwing until all their mud balls were gone.
Nastybeard was blinded and very mad. He rushed towards the pigs swinging his sword wildly hoping that he would slice them to pieces.
That’s when Spencer pulled out his hickory stick.
Nastybeard wiped his face. He was able to see again.
Spencer bounced from side to side and then slid between the pirate’s legs.
Nastybeard turned and Spencer quickly twirled his stick around the shiny sword and sent it flying.
He jumped towards the pirate, knocking him down and stood on his chest.
“I’ll take it from here, Master Spencer,” said Admiral Snout as he rolled the pirate over and tied him up.
“This sword will be engraved in your honor and hung in the palace,” he said to Spencer.
“Hey, that’s my sword,” said the pirate. “He has his sword in his hand.”
“You mean this?” asked Spencer, holding up his hickory stick.
“Ya mean the great Nastybeard was beaten by a little pig with a stick?”
“Yup, and some friends with a lot of mud balls!” laughed Spencer as Miss Clarice and the others gathered around him.
