O Cruzadinho would be an excellent way of translating this. If you are intent on using the adjective seperately, in my opinion it would be better to place it in front of the noun in this instance. So, "O pequeno cruzado."
Thank-you guest for that suggestion.
I put the story on Ellies corner a week or so ago --but did it other way round"O Cruzado Pequeno"--so I now wonder if that was correct ---
obrigada, Ellie
