Bookroo's summary

Join Sir Lancelot, the fearless yet nap-loving knight, as he embarks on thrilling and humorous quests in King Arthur's England. Can he balance chivalry with his need for rest? Discover the adventures that blend bravery with unexpected hilarity, challenging Lancelot to protect the weak while navigating his own quirks. Will his shiny armor and noble heart be enough to uphold justice, or will his penchant for naps lead to unforeseen twists? Dive into a tale where valor meets humor, and every quest is an opportunity for laughter and heroism.

From the publisher

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table. Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, so…shiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as he’d had his afternoon nap. Behold the very exciting and very funny adventures of Lancelot the Great, as only acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell them.
