In this comic book/graphic novel adaptation set one hundred
years before the events in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy
series, A Song of Ice and Fire, "The Hedge Knight" chronicles a
young squire as he travels the cruel and complex path to knighthood
in the Seven Kingdoms.
Shouldering his fallen master's sword and shield, Duncan (or
?Dunk") is determined to reinvent himself as a knight in a nearby
tournament. But first Dunk needs a sponsor, and that requirement
sends him down a road studded with friends, foes, adventure, and
hidden agendas. One such friend is Egg, who becomes Dunk's squire,
yet even he may hold secret motivations of his own.
In this gripping prequel, Dunk and Egg seek glory in a world
both familiar and new to "Game of Thrones" fans. What the two
fortune seekers encounter, however, is a world of distrust and
political machinations. Chivalry is not lost while Dunk holds fast
to his dreams of honor. But such outdated virtues make him a
target--and they may even lead to his ruin. This vivid and
elaborately wrought tale brings new dimension to George R. R.
Martin's beloved world.
This edition includes fifteen pages of new supplemental
material: sketches, character designs, and original pages by Mike
S. Miller, plus variant and original covers.

epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Sworn Sword
graphic novel follows the adventures of Ser Duncan and his squire,
Egg, as they quest for honor and glory in the Seven Kingdoms. After

men under his charge, alongside another knight ? and this one

threaten to slice the deepest. Yet one path lies ahead for Dunk and
Egg: onward toward destiny. Join them as they venture along a
now-familiar world but in a time all-new Collecting The Hedge

An Illustrated Guide to British Upland Vegetation is the first
comprehensive, single book on plant communities in the British
uplands. It provides concise descriptions of all currently
recognised British upland vegetation types. Written by a team
comprising some of the most experienced upland field botanists and
ecologists in the UK, the book brings together all of the upland
communities described in the National Vegetation Classification
together with a number of previously undescribed assemblages of
plant species. A key enables the reader to classify vegetation in
the field. Each vegetation type is described clearly and vividly,
with guidance on how to differentiate between similar looking
communities. There are detailed sections on the ecology,
conservation and management of each community, and up-to-date
distribution maps. This is the outcome of many years of field work
in the British uplands, much of it supported by the UK Government
conservation agencies. The book will be an indispensable guide for
anyone with a keen interest in the uplands, notably ecologists,
land managers, lecturers, and students, as well as the many
organisations actively involved in this special environment. 'Using
the Rodwell classification, the authors have blended in their own
ecological expertise to produce - at last - an account of British
upland vegetation which is readable, visual and comprehensive. Its
value to nature conservation will be immense.' Dr Derek Ratcliffe,
former Chief Scientist, Nature Conservancy Council 'Here is an
outstanding companion and rich information-source for all whose
occupations and interests lead them to the uplands. It not only
furnishes a clear and 'user-friendly' guide to the diversity of
vegetation types, but also provides a masterly overview of the
upland environment.' Professor Charles H. Gimingham, Former Regius
Professor of Botany, University of Aberdeen This book is a reprint
edition of ISBN-10 1-86107-553-7 (2004).
