The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great (The Knights’ Tales Series)
Grade 3–6—Sir Lancelot as a lighthearted, comic figure?Mais oui!Although he is the envy of every man and the object of desire for every woman, he's more concerned about keeping his armor shiny and taking naps than anything else. He's witty and clever and deftly defeats all challengers. With aplomb, Sir Lancelot even handles being shot in the bum with an arrow. Ultimately, he gets so weary from being confronted and chased that he decides to become a hermit. Guinevere's honor needs saving, however, and Lancelot returns. Illustrations, many full page, are scattered throughout. Not for the Arthurian purist, this easy-to-read tale will delight nonetheless. The book's brevity and humor make it accessible to reluctant readers, and it is a fantastic read-aloud.—Cheri Dobbs, Detroit Country Day Middle School, Beverly Hills, MICopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
