THE US REVIEW OF BOOKS
A Visit to the Kingdom of Camelot by R. L. Greenwood Lettra Press LLC book review by Michael Radon “Soon they were riding the bright, fresh air over the now-familiar mountains and across fields and fields of flowers.” In the ancient kingdom of Camelot, a new king must be chosen after the death of the previous one. The king’s knights turn to Merlin, a wise old recluse who instructs them that whoever can pull Excalibur from its stone will be the rightful king of the land. The knights try their hardest to no avail, but a plucky young man named Arthur gives it his best try despite being a commoner. Amazingly, the sword smoothly releases. As the new king, Arthur puts fairness first above all other things, and so under his regime creates the opportunity for two brave new warriors: Lancelot’s brother Ellsworth and his sister Wendy. Though different from the others, their character and unique traits make them perfectly suited for service to the people of Camelot and the surrounding kingdoms. Arthurian legend is something most readers will be familiar with, but the author provides a whimsical spin on it with the introduction of Ellsworth (also known as Sir Burpsalot for obvious reasons) and Wendy. Each of these new characters is a young, kind-hearted person who is seen as an outcast from the beginning but proves their worth through consideration and perseverance. Stripping away the gritty realism and adult emotions of The Once and Future King, this story gives children a version of Camelot full of dashing heroes, scary but redeemable monsters, and a sense of humor. With action, strong moral character, and imaginative scenes, characters, and creatures, this is a perfect introduction for readers to legendary characters that populate many different works of fiction.

THE US REVIEW OF BOOKS
The Trials of the Cave People: And How Dragons Came to Be by R.L. Greenwood Lettra Press book review by Tracy Kelly “Each night, the cave people, known as “Cavers” lit a big fire in the centre of the cave to cook their supper. After supper, they gathered around the fire to talk about what happened in the day and tell stories.” A series of short, light-hearted tales about the adventures of our ancestors, this book introduces us to a small tribe of cavemen, delighting in the awe-inspiring world around them. From odd newcomers to mysterious creatures, they encounter adventure and friendship at every turn. One of these new friends is a character named Stinkfoot—a massive creature, both furry and friendly, who is welcomed into the tribe of the Cavers... after a thorough bath, of course. Overjoyed with his newfound companions, and grateful for an end to his loneliness, Stinkfoot saves the Cavers from a Purple People Eater, as well as a dangerous crop of giant snapdragons who, in Greenwood’s telling, can deliver painful bites to the unsuspecting passerby. This whimsical story also touches on the discovery of the horse, soon to be one of mankind’s most trusted companions, and the origin of constructed homes, made possible through friendship with another local tribe. As for the dragons referenced in the title, that myth is born of an exciting, and subsequently embellished, encounter with a towering, appleloving dinosaur. The result is the fanciful, fire-breathing monster of ancient lore. Greenwood’s work is full of life and whimsy, accompanied by colorful drawings that further the playful tone. Reading more like a compilation of vignettes, as opposed to a single narrative, this work depicts the Cavers in a series of imaginative exploits certain to delight children. However, there are significant grammar and punctuation issues throughout the text, which can, at times, be distracting. That said, the overall story is deeply heartwarming, touching on themes of inclusion, friendship, and creativity that will both entertain and expand young minds.
