Arthur tries to teach the dim-witted knights a few lessons in gallantry, but “knights who had spent their whole lives learning swordsmanship and pointy-stick-bashing did not always see how something else could be more important.” Renier’s irreverent line art makes a noble match to this funny, fractured take on Arthurian lore.
"This trim novel, with simple vocabulary and brief, witty chapters, is an ideal fit for early readers...but fans of the legendary characters may find particular delight in this irreverent and unabashedly silly exploration of Arthur's court and his most influential knight."— The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
