In The Follies of Sir Harold, Karr has crafted that most rare of works, the Arthurian farce. This is the quite wonderfully whimsical tale of a knight sinister (in truth, for our villain knight is left-handed) who, through many misadventures that play most fast and loose with chivalric tales and traditions, eventually ends up to be... not such a bad fellow after all. If that weren’t enough, the text is chock-full of in-jokes, which refer both to the long tradition of Arthurian and fantastical literature and to a few most suitable popular culture icons, all cleverly woven into the tale.
A gem for Arthurian aficionados.
