Whether it’s Waldo doggedly trying to escape The Dalmation of Faust or Henry’s grim internal struggle against Parasites Lost, or the two working together, because so much is riding With the Knight Male, their adventures are sure to entertain every reader – and lead most to consider a long time before daring to seek legal representation.
