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.
