Hail, noble readers and fellow book enthusiasts!
I, Sir Laughalot of Lancelot, have recently embarked on a most extraordinary quest, not for the Holy Grail, but for the holy grail of literature – and lo and behold, I found it in Arthur McRight’s “The Last Fisher King.” This tome is nothing short of a legendary delight, blending chivalrous valor with a dash of tree-hugging whimsy that even Merlin would envy!
As I turned the pages, I could almost hear the whispers of Eldenwood and the soft clanging of armor – and not just because I read it in full plate mail. Truly, McRight has penned a tale that makes one wish for a steed and a forest to defend.
The Fisher King’s plight is a poignant reflection of our dear planet’s woes. If Sir Gawain were around today, he’d trade his Green Knight for a Greenpeace membership faster than you can say “Excalibur.” And the illustrations by Evelyne Hartwell? Enchanting! Her art is so vivid, I almost believed my own sword had come to life. (Note to self: Do not leave sword near sketchbook.)
“The Last Fisher King” is a must-read for every knight, squire, and environmentally-conscious dragon out there. It’s a quest for the soul and the soil, a saga that tickles your funny bone while tugging at your heartstrings. And remember, noble readers, as we face our own modern-day blights, let us be inspired by the Fisher King to wield our pens and eco-friendly swords with valor!
Yours in laughter and lore,
Sir Laughalot
