OOOh fancy you raeading these!! They were part of my young 'knights in shining armour coming to rescue me' days... and I believed them to be REAL and TROO and OOOO THey WILL come... oh dear me, but good storytelling (with or without logic) is such FUN and so alive. Glad you're enjoying them, but it is very surprising to read your 'take' from the modern point of view... mine was pre-WWII!!!! how differently we see things now! I ought to re-read... but then, is it a good idea to revisit favourite places of old? Bless you!!! most chuckling and memory making!
They're the big classics of medieval literature, aren't they? I've been meaning to read them forever. And also the beginnings of Arthurian literature, so of course I had to :)
Awww. To me I feel many of the knights are wearing slightly tarnished armour, though their fighting skills are unparalleled!
It really shocks me sometimes to think about how fast the world has changed. It's not that the pre-modern period (like, hm, even pre-industrialization) didn't have changes--it did, in agriculture and thought and science and all that. But it accelerated SO FAST, even the past ten years, past twenty years, it's completely and totally mindboggling, and I am part of that generation. Holy cow.
I don't know! Some things I don't read, just because I like my memory better. Maybe it is better to remember the knights. There are always lots of books to read, after all :P
