Jabberwocky

A young peasant with no interest in adventure or fortune is mistaken for the kingdom's only hope when a horrible monster threatens the countryside. After his father's death, young cooper Dennis Cooper (Sir Michael Palin) goes to town and must undergo several adventures. The town and the whole kingdom is threatened by a terrible monster called "Jabberwocky". Will Dennis make his fortune? Is anyone brave enough to defeat the monster? A medieval tale with Pythonesque humor. —Gunter Doege <doege@math.tu-dresden.de> Bent on proving his worth and impress his one true love, Griselda Fishfinger, the wide-eyed cooper apprentice, Dennis, enters the impregnable gates of King Bruno the Questionable's medieval city. There, mud and terror enveil the citadel, as the very thought of an abominable nightmarish creature lurking somewhere outside the stronghold's towering walls strikes fear in the hearts of men. Under those dire circumstances, only a jousting contest can determine the realm's defender, and for the first time in a long while, ordinary Dennis is the master of his destiny. Now, immense riches and a glorious grand prize await the beast's slayer; however, can Dennis rid the walled city of the terrible dragon, the Jabberwocky? —Nick Riganas
