Chivalry is not dead! The defender of Arthurian tales, Sir Lancelot, endures, slashing one heck of an enjoyble read. The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great is a hero's quest, beginning when newly knighted Lancelot leaves home pursuing honor, nobility and the "shiniest armor in all the world." Amusing in its tales, with a hint of Monty Python for children, the Sire doth make a reader contented. Gerald Morris writes with especially good command over dialogue and Aaron Renier's illustrations complete the good show. Recreants aside, purveyors of a good tale will enjoy this tale to the hilt.
