Crowning Achievements: The Legend of King Arthur is a very historically inaccurate and irreverent fantasy novel for fans of classic British comedies like Blackadder and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. With great power comes great irresponsibility. It's hard being a legendary king. Round tables are expensive. For King Arthur, life is a series of catastrophes. It's extremely hard work running his kingdom. There are many myths and legends about King Arthur. None are true. He wasn't brave, virtuous and wise. He didn't even want a round table. The real Arthur was just an ordinary man turned into a king by a fluke of fate and a touch of magic. This is his story - a comical tale of magic and misadventures, featuring Merlin, Sir Lancelot, Queen Guinevere and a whole host of other legendary characters.
