The Dragon and the Unicorn

Every so often I get the urge to read an Arthurian story, and every time I regret it. That's not to say this isn't probably a good example if you enjoy this kind of thing (for once I actually made it to the end) however I, personally, can only stomach so much PORTENTS, SYMBOLISM, PORTENTS, SYMBOLISM, plot, PORTENTS, SYMBOLISM, PORTENTS, SYMBOLISM, plot etc. Just once I'd like to read something Arthurian that was actually just a bit fun.

A side-note on the audiobook: the performance of this, while mostly fine and suitably portentous, did have some very odd pronunciations and sudden changes in tone. There is also, memorably at one point, a cameo by a passing emergency vehicle siren.
