In 1998 I read a collection of short fairy tales. One of them caught my attention. It was the story of a little girl who stole an enormous Ogre's sword and saved several people. Though she was hardly developed as a character I liked the little girl. What I didn't like was that she had become masculine in the process of saving everyone. Why can't a little girl save the day and still be a little girl? So I got the idea to write a fairy tale about a little girl who saves the day and stays true to herself.

Though the book's title lists Sir Thomas first, it's initially about Tomato. Sir Thomas is militant and Tomato is a pacifist, they interact and their ideas meld into new views that incorporate both sides. In many ways the story promotes being true to ones self, but it also promotes flexibility of character. Know who you are, but be ready to accept the views of others.

But really, in the end, it's a happy story about a seven year old knight, his seven year old page, and the big ox they ride around on.
