Knights of the Roundish Table
by A. E. Chandler is composed of eight short stories parodying the King Arthur tales by exaggerating their typical characteristics. It is full of humor and the stories are in chronological order, although they weren’t written in that order. The setting is sixth century Britain. Additionally, there is an Introduction and a British History quiz at the end of the book.
The first story introduces the readers to the characters including King Xander and his wife Queen Jennivere as well as several of the knights. With that in place, the stories continue with humor and good character interactions.
I loved the tournaments, quests, and humor, including items such as Sir Robin the Bold riding a sheep instead of a horse. The author does a great job of characterization and world-building. While I know these medieval stories are meant to play on the general conventions and tropes of the King Arthur tales, the mention of items such as doorbells, post offices, radios, and other objects took it a little too far for me. Additionally, the pacing was a little slow for me at times.
Overall, this was an entertaining and fun novel with some historical situations included.
The author provided a complimentary copy digital copy of this novel. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. The publication date was January 1, 2025.

My 3.22 rounded to 3 stars is coming soon.

The book starts with King Xander, Mervin the magician and the queen mother talking about how they can unite Britain while they’re constantly preoccupied with fighting off barbarians at the borders. A prophecy speaks of fifty knights who will accomplish great feats and bring peace to the land. So they organize a tournament, to find the best knights in the realm.
This book feels very inspired by Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You’ve got the Arthurian knights. With King Xander as this book’s King Arthur, and Mervin the magician as this book’s Merlin for example. And there’s of course a lot of whacky comedy to keep you entertained. Now, comedy is quite subjective. But, this book did manage to get some chuckles out of me. So it definitely did some things right. What sometimes took me out of it a bit unfortunately were the too many references to modern things in this medieval setting. Like a Tootsie Roll, a jet ski, a TV, the Spice Girls or heatseeking missiles. But of course it’s not supposed to be a realistic medieval setting.
You can tell the author wrote this book with passion, which is very much appreciated. Be sure to read the word from the author after the stories, because that shows how passionate and knowledgeable the author is about the topic. There are eight short stories that offer a variety of fun to be had with these Arthurian-inspired characters and legends. It feels like a solid book that’s inspired by myths and legends, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. I have to admit, I didn’t really know how to rate this at first. But then I looked at what this story tries to accomplish. And that is very simply put: to make you laugh. Since it accomplished what it set out to do, I’ll round this one up to four stars. Thanks to my Goodreads friend Darla for putting this book on my radar.

5 Stars for Knights of the Roundish Table (ebook) by A. E. Chandler.
This was so much fun to read. I’m not sure why turning English history into a comedy works so well but it does. The book seems to be written in the spirit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail but with unique characters, quests and challenges. The book is made up of several stories that build upon each other using many of the same characters. Some of my favorite parts were the wonderful misspelled letter. I really enjoyed reading that. And the song with music, the author must be able to read and write music too. And the wonderful exclamation “Holly Gila Monster”. I loved that since I live in the land of the Gila Monster. I would recommend this to all of the Monty Python fans out there and anyone who likes a little comedy along with their Knights and Kings and their quests. I really hope that this becomes a big success and it’s made into a movie.

I started this book while waiting for my flight to Malaga, and it turned out to be the perfect travel companion. It was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review, and what I found was a light, clever, and unexpectedly charming twist on Arthurian legend.
This is a comedic retelling of Camelot that balances historical detail with an irreverent sense of humour. The tone feels almost medieval, yet sharply modern in its wit. The world is familiar but delightfully off-centre — a kingdom that is legendary in theory and chaotic in practice.
As a dyslexic reader with ADHD, I often struggle to visualise scenes, especially in stories with many characters. What helped here was treating the book as a series of comic sketches rather than one linear storyline. The structure is episodic, the pacing brisk, and the humour creates natural anchors that make the story easier to follow. Once I accepted it as a playful tapestry rather than a dense myth, the entire world opened up.
Chandler’s knights are earnest, flawed, and wonderfully ridiculous. King Arthur tries to bring order to a kingdom that refuses to cooperate. Merlin’s wisdom misfires more often than it helps. The knights themselves are brave in the way real people are brave — full of hope, bluster, and human clumsiness. Their failures are part of the charm, and the book never mocks them unkindly. Instead, it reveals the gap between legend and reality with warmth.
Beneath the humour, there is a gentle truth: myths are built by imperfect people doing their best. That is what makes them enduring.
Overall, Knights of the Round(ish) Table is a funny, engaging, and surprisingly thoughtful read. A good choice for anyone who enjoys historical humour, Arthurian parody, or stories that celebrate human imperfection with intelligence and heart.

3.5 Stars- This book was a unique fusion of medieval life and modern culture. Told in eight different short stories we meet different knights as they navigate through different challenges in the 6th century. There were also many fantastical elements weaved in each story.
As someone who really loves reading about the Middle Ages, I did enjoy the historical accurate details. It was interesting to read about how parts of our everyday lives in the 21st century were blended into that. From a village being attacked by the Saxons and now the survivors have to work at Starbucks to resolving interpersonal conflicts with Pictionary. Each short story contained bits of real history or were based on legend and then was infused with humor, fantasy and modern elements. There was even a story based on Jack and the Bean Stock.
My favorite characters were Gene and Guy. I enjoyed seeing how their relationship was played out over different stories. There were some times where I did lose the thread of the story because the characters and plot jumped from topic to topic. However, if you enjoy fast paced books this aspect might appeal to you. I did enjoy the introduction at the end of the book. It gave extra detail that I appreciated. I also enjoyed the quiz. This is a fun extra that I think more books should do.
Overall, I think that if you enjoy humor in your stories, reading about knights or medieval history, and like short stories you will like this book.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a digital copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Knights of the Roundish Table resembles an extended, more irreverent version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, performed by a troupe of traveling bards who are improvising their lines, prioritizing comedic audacity over historical accuracy. The narrative is largely driven by dialogue with minimal exposition and features anachronistic humor and references that disregard period authenticity and evoke the atmosphere of a modern Renaissance fair rather than medieval England (even with the fantasy infusion). With characters pulling out tie-dyed hankies, referencing Etch-A-Sketches, singing Greensleeves, serving tuna melt sandwiches, and lamenting outdated singles by soulDecision, it goes without saying that the historical setting is more of a suggestion.
While the novel’s tone is consistently lighthearted, characters and their relationships—particularly for the female characters—are lacking, often relying on stereotypes. Although satirical characterization is to be expected, the female characters’ traits grate like nails on a chalkboard. Many jokes feel random and disconnected from the plot, resulting in a narrative where events occur abruptly and without meaningful buildup or resolution. The first half starts on a strong note, but character and plot development are limited as the stories progress, and some side quests end with simple-to-no explanation. How Sir Robin and Bernard escaped dismemberment at the Joy of the Court is still a mystery to me. The second half is like a spoof that’s gone wildly off-roading. I appreciate the attempt and can spot nuggets of historical legend thrown in here and there, but for me things overall fell too far from the source material to appreciate what the author was trying to accomplish.

First there is the review in Italian then the English one –
Prima c'è la recensione in italiano poi quella in inglese
4,5
Letto in inglese.
L’autrice avvisa i lettori: “fidatevi, sono una medievalista”. E nonostante il libro sia comico, i giochi di parole, le discussioni umoristiche e anacronistiche, le descrizioni paradossali e le vicende incredibili tutto insomma è storicamente fondato. L’operazione che l’autrice compie rispetto alle storie cavalleresche è un esempio di come funziona la creatività: nonostante le apparenze, la creatività non inventa “cose nuove”, ma trasforma cose in modo da renderle diverse, imprevedibilmente differenti, quindi, in effetti, nuove. E il libro (che non è un romanzo ma gli assomiglia molto, perché i protagonisti dei racconti tornano varie volte, e le loro vicende si sviluppano), ci mostra benissimo i tre meccanismi della creatività: infatti rompe i racconti che ci sono arrivati dal medioevo (Breaking), fa a pezzi i personaggi e ce li restituisce trasformati. Le vicende che i cavalieri e gli altri protagonisti vivono sono riplasmate, allungate e allargate comicamente: e questo è il Bending. Ovviamente racconto funziona perché è mescolato (Blending) con attenzione e ironia. Si sente che l’autrice si è divertita a scriverlo, e riesce a trascinarci in un mondo assurdo e vitale, in cui i protagonisti sono capaci di godersi la vita in modi per noi impensabili, e spesso alludono a un futuro in cui noi sembriamo meno moderni di loro.
Ringrazio l’autrice che mi ha inviato l’ebook del libro in cambio di una recensione sincera.
4.5
Read in English.
The author warns readers: “Trust me, I'm a medievalist”. And although the book is comical, the puns, humorous and anachronistic discussions, paradoxical descriptions and incredible events are all historically accurate. The author's approach to chivalric stories is an example of how creativity works: despite appearances, creativity does not invent “new things”, but transforms things in such a way as to make them different, unpredictably different, and therefore, in effect, new. And the book (which is not a novel but closely resembles one, because the protagonists of the stories return several times and their stories develop) shows us very clearly the three mechanisms of creativity: in fact, it breaks the stories that have come down to us from the Middle Ages (Breaking), tears the characters apart and gives them back to us transformed. The events experienced by the knights and other protagonists are reshaped, lengthened and comically exaggerated: this is Bending. Obviously, the story works because it is blended (Blending) with care and irony. You can tell that the author enjoyed writing it, and she manages to draw us into an absurd and vibrant world, where the protagonists are able to enjoy life in ways that are unimaginable to us, and often allude to a future in which we seem less modern than they are.

Miss those good old days when there were new Monty Python sketches to look forward to?
Well, I have good news! The spirit of Monty Python is alive and well in this collection of medieval stories from A.E. Chandler.
Eight stories explore the medieval times with humor and heart.
Here are some of the great features of this new read:
🤣Every page has laugh-out-loud moments. Chandler really worked some magic and humor into these pages. My favorite plot twist was the cowapaults!
🤔The stories are related with many of the same characters moving forward in time in a chronological manner -- with the exception of Mervin, who is living his life backwards and he won't let you forget it!
❓Want to test your knowledge of English History? There is a quiz you can take at the end of the book. While I am far from having the expertise and knowledge that Chandler has, I did pretty good on that quiz.
✍Also at the end of the collection is an informative Introduction written by Chandler to help sum things up and give us some background. One of my favorite chapters.
If you are in the mood for some medieval humor, look this one up and get ready to laugh as you go on adventures with The Knights of the Roundish Table.
A big thank you to A.E. Chandler for providing a PDF of this collection so I could provide an honest review. All opinions are my own.
