Invaders are pouring into Xander's kingdom. If he can't recruit knights able to stop them, Britain will be lost. Fortunately, there's Sir Dwain, whose life's ambition is to be a nightclub comedian; Keesh, who giggles whenever faced with making a decision; Robin, whose horse is actually a sheep; and Longfellow, whose temper may doom them all. Together with an incompetent magician, a terrifying queen, the warrior Gene of Arc, and a minstrel who might just have more common sense than the rest of them combined, King Xander faces the worst foes the sixth century has to offer, and fights for the freedom of turnip growers everywhere against the Questing Beast, dragons, and the sinister Green Knight. This book contains eight hilarious tales spoofing the King Arthur stories, written by a historian specializing in medieval England, its literature and legends. Humour, history, and fantasy combine in this reimagining of the most popular myth of the Middle Ages. Join the adventure and get ready to laugh with King Xander and his Knights of the Roundish Table. From the author of the bestselling historical novel The Scarlet Forest: A Tale of Robin Hood.
