Considered one of Peacock’s best works by his fans, this 1829 comic romance is set during the legendary reign of King Arthur. Peacock uses a historical format, but incorporates his typical sarcasm. The novel's editor, Richard Garnett, describes the book in his introduction as unique among the author's works. "In the charm of romantic incident," writes Garnett, "it surpasses them all."
