A Visit to the Kingdom of Camelot

By R.L. Greenwood

King Arthur ruled the land of Camelot with his trusted knights, including the handsome and brave Sir Lancelot. Lancelot had a brother by the name of Ellsworth who wasnt quite as brave, but who was known for burping. When he was still a baby, his nurse decided that since Ellsworth was the brother of Lancelot, he would be known as Sir Burpsalot.

Sir Lancelot also had a little sister by the name of Wendy. Wendy was not like the other girls at Camelot. She did not want to learn how to sew, mend, and cook; she wanted to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow. People told her she couldnt shoot because shooting wasnt ladylike, but Wendy knew this was not fair.

Burpsalot and Wendy may not sound like the usual heroes, but in the land of Camelot, heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Together, this brother and sister take on dragons and stinkers. They learn the ways of poodletooters and flutterbys. They make friends and bring honor to their family, despite humble beginnings.

I n the kingdom of Camelot, there was a very old king. He was a good king, but he was a very old king, and one day he died. He had no son who could take his place. The knights, especially Sir Lancelot and Sir Gerwain, all wanted to become king, but they couldn’t decide who it should be. Then Sir Lancelot had a good idea. They would ask the magician Merlin to decide for them. The knights put on their best armor and set off for Merlin’s cabin in the woods.
