Robert Fisher’s The Knight in Rusty Armor is the story of an unnamed knight. This knight has a wife, Juliet, and a son, Christopher. The knight loves being a knight. He focuses his entire life on being the best knight possible. However, this leads him away from his family. He refuses to take off his armor, so Juliet gives him a choice. Either he takes off his armor, or she leaves with their son. He decides he would rather keep his family. However, he is unable to remove his armor. People in town try to help but fail, so they tell him to look for the wizard Merlin.
