The illustrations are fun, colorful, childlike cartoons.  The story is convoluted.  It starts out with a knight who rode away, but then the teller of the story remembers he didn’t actually have a horse, so he changes his mind and says that he strode away.  It continues is this manner — every time something is said to have happened, the narrator changes his mind and says it was really something else.  It rhymes more or less, but is still awkward to read.
