Sir Gadabout, the worst knight in the world, maintains his reputation in the latest tale of his misdeeds. Madcap slapstick coupled with hilarity and plentiful anachronisms successfully hold the reader’s interest throughout the book, which will not disappoint Gadabout fans. Ross’ illustrations are as quirky as ever in the latest tale where Gadabout butchers King Arthur’s hair and then in an attempt to send them all back to just before the haircut happened, misuses a spell and manages to send King Arthur spiralling into the future. Our time, no less. For more mayhem, read the book!
