Bendy's older brother Matthew was furious when he learned that their father, an honored scribe, had apprenticed Bendy to William Caxton, the master printer. Matthew had planned to put Bendy to work in his own scrivener shop, laboriously copying small books by hand to sell at a cheap price; and he hated the very word \"printing.\" To him, Caxton's press-the first in England-was unfair competition. It was no secret to Bendy that his surly, unyielding older brother had even gone so far as to make arrangements with Tom Twist the peddler, to intercept Caxton's shipment of Unicorn paper for his press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut to Bendy, the smell of the printer's ink, the heavy thud of the ponderous press, and the maddening complexities of a composing stick opened a whole new world. And, when he learned that his new master doted on tales of chivalry and stories of the knights of old, Bendy was even more pleased. Wasn't his most prized possession a tattered roll of incomplete, handwritten stories about King Arthur, written by an unknown knight named Sir Malory? So Bendy plotted cheerfully to outwit Matthew, until the eventful day when an unexpected discovery propelled Bendy and young Dick Pynson into a dangerous mission that ended in broken heads and a dramatic victory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Harnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955402205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955402200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillside Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Cynthia Harnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014436565247,"sku":"9781955402200","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b9ceed7-0eef-4d20-b795-51183faf2874.jpg?v=1767748342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caxtons-challenge-cynthia-harnett-9781955402200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
