I began to read this after reading a very long, but gripping, novel. I am so glad I did. Its quirky take on today and
yesteryear made me laugh out loud. Very amusing indeed and the characters became more and more familiar with
every tale. Well worth reading, and a bonus of a giggle in such trying times.

Brilliant stories. I love the clever way this author weaves the most modern phrases, concepts and devices into an
otherwise medieval scenario with such wit and humour. ... ... ...The Vizier is brilliantly obsequious and Harry is
delightfully down to earth. Any man who can do pargetting is most impressive! A great, lighthearted read, just
what is needed in these tense times.

I really enjoyed reading this book it kept me laughing from start to finish. A lovely mix between the middle ages
and present day technology. I would recommend the book to anyone who needs a chuckle or in my case a laugh.

Here we have the latest from the brilliant and slightly bent mind of Barnaby Wilde. This series of tales is done
daringly through snappy dialog and witty twists and turns. It is thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.
