Shield of Three Lions has been compared to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales for its bawdy sense of humor and hilariously funny escapades. The Middle Ages has never been more droll, or had a more witty and amusing cast of characters. The ribaldry is all the sharper because of the real danger, as the heroine, Alix, flees for her life and journeys with a clever, ambiguous Scot in order to meet with that ruthless master of intrigue and irony, King Richard the Lionhearted, to plead her case. Medieval Europe, with all its heroes and knights-errant, and also its cutthroats and buffoons, serves as the vividly drawn backdrop for this high-spirited adventure. Readers of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn will be delighted with Shield of Three Lions!
