Ry Herman will present an evening of storytelling with the Edinburgh launch of 'This Knight Topples Empires' at Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop on 17 November 2026. The event features a humorous retelling of the Eastern European fairy tale 'The Girl Who Pretended to Be a Boy', focusing on a knight's quest to thwart an invasion and navigate personal challenges. Attendees can expect a blend of fairytale reimaginings and comedic elements.
Ry Herman is back with another epic quest and they are funnier than ever - join us for the Edinburgh launch of This Knight Topples Empires!
A raucous, tongue-in-cheek spin on the Eastern European fairy tale “The Girl Who Pretended to Be a Boy,” in which a knight attempts to thwart an invasion, save the most beautiful woman in the world, and finally get away from their sisters....
The best is fairytale reimaginings, queer chaos and cosy fantasy, Herman's latest serves up a whirlwind of botched disguises, accidental heroics, talking animals with surprisingly strong opinions, and one very inconvenient crush on the most sought-after princess in the land.
Come for the silliness, stay for a story that's bursting with heart.
