Twenty-one stories about King Arthur specifically written to be read out loud to or by children.
Sir Bedivere is a rather clumsy knight of the Round Table whose wife is a cat. Pulled out of the Otherworld by the sound of a dog in pain, he must relate his tale in full before he may return. But there is no-one to listen except one lonely boy with a runny nose and a thug for a brother.
This re-telling of the Arthurian legend is an ancient and modern story, set both in present day and mythical past. In the Otherworld are vivid encounters with Merlin the Wizard, the Lady of the Lake, Excalibur, Lancelot and Gwinhavar. King Arthur does battle with the evil Red Dragon to return Albion to lawfulness and peace, while his knights venture in search of the mysterious Grail, the Light beyond all light. Gawain sleeps on a bed of marvels with its sheets made from the skins of dead snakes. The peasant boy Parsifal sits on the seat of shocks, with far-reaching consequences. Meanwhile the here-and-now world is being turned into a lawless wasteland by the gang led by the boy's brother. Can Bedivere do anything to put things right?
