The Knights' Tales #4 The Adventures of Sir Balin the Ill-Fated by Gerald Morris illustrated by Aaron Renier*

The three of us listened to this book on CD.  Then my third grader read the book to himself.
The old woman from the mountain was suppose to bless Sir Balin when he was a baby.  Instead, her blessings were coupled with sadness.  His marvelous deeds will only serve him ill.  All of his adventures will bring him misfortune.  He will also destroy the knight whom he loves the most.
Can Sir Balin as an adult ever find peace and good fortune?  How does one outsmart "fate"?
I was fearful that this story would end in sadness but was pleasantly surprised!
*Highly recommend.
