A Dream World

Julie Gaffney touches a suit of armor at a sleasy restaurant and is transported into the magical world of Camleot. Mistaken as Lancelot's squire George she first gets a glimpse of Lancelot through the eyes of a boy. Lancelot is strong, pure at heart, and very very handsome. When he comes to realize her true identity he begins to fall for her, and their romance begins. But in the midst of this all, Merlin is keeping close tabs on the two would-be lovers, hoping it will keep Lancelot far away from Guinevere's passionate arms, and to keep Camelot falling to it's knees when King Arthur is broken hearted at his knight's betrayal. Meanwhile Malvern has other plans, and steals Excalibur and hides it in Lancelot's room, hoping to pit both King Arthur and Lancelot against each other. Julie finds it and thinking it is Lancelot's sword she brings it to him, and one touch transports her, Lancelot and Malvern into her world, New York City. From the moment they arrive, Lancelot slowly begins growing weaker and weaker, the magic of his world slowly dying away and him with it. It's a beautiful story, but I don't want to ruin the end for you. Enjoy!

Give this book a chance!!!

The first thing that will cross your mind when you read the sypnosis is ... another story about King Auther and Camelot and .. blah .. blah .. blahThat's what first crossed my mind, but I loved this book. It was funny, and the characters were simply wonderful. You'll fall in love with Lancelot and forget all that you've ever read about him. Give this book a change, you won't regret it.

Once again time travel becomes realistic.

The book was hard to put down once I started reading it. Even though the tale of Camelot was changed, it was still believable. The images were exceptional. I also liked the fact that O'Brien didn't use a different language to convey the different time period.My only question is when is her next book?
