Average rating
The six knights clanking round the castle corridors are driving King Artie up the wall. He can’t even visit the privy without them pestering him about jousting tournaments, the Code of Chivalry, the proper way to polish armour, and if Sir Tralahad sings another of his ridiculous songs Artie will chuck him off the ramparts. What the knights need, Queen Gwinnie says, is a room of their own for meetings. But that’s easier said than done. And trouble really starts when someone brings a feast to a table that’s more drop-leaf than round …Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+
Reviews
The book is fiction. I don't like the character of the queen because he made the king to be rude to the knights. This might make one to be selfish. Controlling people isn't good

All the knights were really funny, especially Sir Bore de Gannet, who was French and made lots of strange food.

I like a the knight because of their mustache, shining armor and shields. It is a fiction, funny as the king remove a screw from his sleeves.

The story makes me feel amused and it is funny. It is about the knight and the drop-leaf table. My favourite character is Sir Tralahad since he sings funny songs.

This is a fiction book. It is an humorous adaptation of the round table. My favourite character was Sir Bore de Gannet and his french culture. I would recommend it ages 7-8.

It's funny because knights are a bit childish instead of being brave and fierce!

Super Readable, funny and enjoyable to read! 6 hilarious knights try to organise an 'All Knight' party - with french food that nobody wanted to eat and music that no one would listen to! Chaos in the kitchen and in the party room too! Enjoy reading this hilarious account!
