The Globbatrotter
Absolutely loved this book
This book is beautifully written; I was hooked from the first page. It is exciting, exhilarating, informative, full of humour and some pathos too. It is a real page turner and a wonderful way to introduce children to Arthurian legend and Shakespeare. It would also make a fabulous teaching tool in schools as it is a creative writing masterpiece.Fabulous fantasy
