Read from November 01 to 08, 2011
This is a lovely book, quite silly but a very nice read from an author with a charming sense of humour. The Arthurian legends have never been told this way before! Who realised that Arthur, instead of being concerned with The Matter Of Britain, was obsessed with his shirt collection? Launcelot was a craven coward until be came good towards the end of the book. The evil, scheming Mordred is really a little sweetie and the shame and despair of his conniving mother, Morgan le Fey. These and other characters are bound together by Barnaby, an unwilling visitor from our time. I felt it got a little rambly in the marshes (that sounds like a village name?) but the ending was excellent. It's my first Darren Humphreys book and is certainly not going to be my last.
