The Fanshaw Family has descended from a long line of knights, but has fallen upon hard times.

Walter is married to Gertrude and they have two children, Rupert and Geraldine. In the first book of the series, the Fanshaws find themselves transported into a parallel universe, where once again Walter is a knight in shining armour. But in this parallel world, the people have advanced technology while living in a medieval environment.

In Book Two, the children once again find themselves back in the world called Lendorth, and experience many adventures, including the discovery of an underworld group of people who had been hidden for many years.

Back home again, the family decides the only way to tell their story is to create a TV series, since otherwise no one would ever believe their strange stories!
