The King Of The Dark Tower Chapter 1

In class we are reading The King Of The Dark Tower by Alan Brown. This is part of our study on Quest Myth in Literacy.
So far we have found out:-
The Setting
  • A long time ago when the world was new.
  • There are two kingdoms one is underground and the other is the earth.
  • The kingdom below the earth is dark and mysterious
  • The kingdom on top was bright and cheerful.
  • It is set in the time when King Arthur reigned.

The Characters

  • There are three brothers, Edward the eldest, James and Rowland.
  • They have a sister called Helen.
  • Merlin the Magician is in the story.
  • Their mother who loves her children dearly.

Events

  • Their dad has died.
  • He was riding a horse in a joust and fell off breaking his neck.
  • The children went to play football in the meadow with a pig's bladder.
  • Edward kicked the ball so it flew over the church like a balloon.
  • Helen went to get the ball because the older boy picked on Rowland and she went instead of him.
  • She didn't return.
