Has anyone else read these wonderful Arthurian re-tellings by Gerald Morris? If you have, your thoughts?

Good series. I've read most of them, and they were all pretty good. Some stuff is weird (the magic and stuff), but I don't mind that so much because there would be no story without it.

I'm not opposed to magic in fantasy--done tastefully, in any case--so that didn't bug me, Astronomer.

LOL, Varon. Me, too. These are one of the few series which cause me to laugh out loud literally. (The other being the Wingfeather Saga and the Alcatraz books, but that's a whole 'nother discussion)

Ooh! I love them. Great books, and really funny, too. And he managed to pull off the ending really well, too, I think, which is extremely impressive to my mind.
