Percival and the Hall of Mirrors

Follow in the footsteps of brave, young Percival, the Papillon dog, as he fights for his great king Louis XIV, in seventeenth-century France. Teaming up with his animal friends, such as Marcel the Mouse and Thierry the Tortoise, and his human allies, Percival has to navigate dangerous waters in order to ensure the safety of the king and France. Bursting with historical facts and detail and a smattering of French, Percival and the Hall of Mirrors is both educational and fun. It is livened up with great illustrations. Seventeenth-century France is brought to life in this animated illustrated children’s adventure.
