I'm not sure if this book was a spoof, a satire, or just plain silly, but even so there were some good nuggets along the way. Highly readable, appropriate for young children or for adults who don't take things too seriously, the story meshes together several actual tales from Arthur's time, most prominently Tristan and Isolde. Don't read for historical accuracy - the knights tend to ride around in full armor picking fights and singing of love - but for the fun of it. You know all along theres a moral, but when you reach the end its not quite happily-ever-after you have in your head. A nice, light, entertaining, goofy read.

Another wonderful little tale written by a most talented author. Love the way Morris approaches the world of Arthur, his knights and the stories of that era. Sir Dinadan is a wonderful character who loves to play and sing with his rebec. Knighted by his father because he believes that this gentle son will never become a knight otherwise, Dinadan sets about his travels, having adventure after adventure. He falls into the strangest of situations and survives them all more by accident than by skill. This is a charming story and so much fun to read.
