A New Year challenge goes horribly wrong for one noble knight of the Round Table!
King Arthur loved Christmas and New Year - a time of feasting and general good fellowship among the knights at Camelot. And King Arthur wouldn't stop feasting until some marvellous adventure had befallen either him or one of his companions. One year, there was an adventure to top the lot.
Not only has this good-natured tale come down to us intact (unlike much Arthurian literature), it has captured readers' (and listeners') imaginations for over 600 years.
