An Arthurian Epic, but set in the hangover after Arthur has left for Avalon and the polity he established has collapsed. The remaining knights of the Round Table are exhausted, disheartened and in no shape to restore Britain. Lots of elements of Faerie too, and I very much enjoyed it, but at 650+ pages it took up a lot of time over Christmas. During this time i also suspect I saw a beaver, but it could be just wishful thinking. Freddie, me and the dog went for a walk round the nature reserve by the river Trent where the beavers have been released, and before we got to the reserve as we were walking along the canal we passed over a brook. I saw something to my left and saw what I thought was a big black dog jump in into the brook and disappear. But it was in a place where there wouldn't be a dog and there was no owner around - and there was a dam very near by. so I think I may have disturbed a beaver and just glimpsed it.
