Waterstones' Children's Book Prize 2019, Klaus Flugge Prize 2019 and Independent Bookshop Week Awards 2019 There was once a little boy who was afraid of the dark. There's nothing unusual about that. Most children are afraid of the dark at one time of another. But this little boy was a Prince, and he decided that when he became King, he would do something about the dark. He would ban it. When the King bans the dark completely, installing an artificial sun, and enforcing "anti-dark" laws, it seems like a good idea. The citizens don't need to worry about any of the scary things that might live in the dark. But what happens when nobody can sleep, and the citizens revolt? Will the King face his fears and turn the lights off? The King Who Banned the Dark is a beautiful and thought-provoking story about how we need the dark in order to enjoy the light.

This is a story of a man and his people. In an age when persecution over religious differences was the norm in Western Europe, he gave the Jews of Europe safe haven and freedom to practice their religion. In an age when cruelty rather than kindness was common practice, he instituted laws for the protection of women and serfs. In a country where law itself was what the local strongman decreed, he brought a judicial system. To a people in relative darkness, he brought the light of learning and hope. Warning: This book is more than just a time machine. Not only will it take you back seven centuries; while there, you will learn honor, valor, loyalty, despair and enduring love. You will learn to respect the past. You may also find hope for the future.
