Description
Doctor Kiss is quite prepared to say yes when asked one day to come to the aid of a young knight who has been injured in battle. Waiting until after her usual goodnight kisses and hugs from her parents, Doctor Kiss takes her medical bag and climbs through her bedroom window into a gilded, magical world from the age of chivalry.
