Mythology is a grand thing and one of my secret passions, particularly King Arthur lore. This novel is where all other Arthur lore novels pretty much got their start (aside from "primary" sources), and it certainly captured my heart. It is redolent with hilarity, if you're nerdy enough to spot the jokes, and will spark deep thought in the next instant. For those of you who like the Sword and the Stone, the first part of the book is the basis for that Disney movie.

P.S. I am naming my next pet Glatisant because she was perhaps my favorite character. :)
