 Sandy: A pretty damsel who is found to be terribly annoying
We have enjoyed this book because it is not
too short but not too long. We have especially
liked the plot of this story, as it is not the
usual one. Addingf that, it is very well set

Hank Morgan (yankee): Main character

scened and the characters personalities are
amazingly created.

Guenever: Arthur's beautiful queen

I would truly recomend this book for
practising English as it is a simple but fun plot

Clarence: Closest friend

and it will not be hard to read.

Sir Launcelot: knight

Merlin: A magician
King Arthur
at first.
