1066
England
Duke William
has conquered England in 1066, but he has a bit of a problem. He cannot prove
his claim. The body of his opponent, King Harold II, is missing so the new
Norman King sends an extremely pedantic Saxon off to find him, using the
ruse of compiling an enormous book listing the dwelling places and possessions
of all the people of England. While he is doing that, some Vikings and the village
idiot, set out on their own secret mission… Inevitably their paths are to cross…
Comedy is not
always easy to write, it has to be humorous (of course) but not over-the-top
silly. The characters here are, by necessity exaggerated, as you would find in
any pantomime-type comedy: William for instance is portrayed as a wonderful ‘baddy’.
To be truthful, the comedy was not always consistent and perhaps in places the ‘jokes’
were a little repetitive, but all the same this was a thoroughly enjoyable and
entertaining read and it kept me chuckling, so job done!
