Questing the Beast:  the Bombastic Autobiography of King Pellinore, King Arthur’s Oldest and Grumpiest Knight

A comic novel about King Pellinore’s attempts to nurture a glorious, literary Camelot, and the ignorant idiots who stand in his way.  Pellinore battles barbarians, ill-educated knights, thieves, invading Saxons, con artists, greedy backstabbers, and really terrible food. 

The first ten pages or so.
