False Tidings: A Fools Errand by Stephen J. Grant

adventurous funny lighthearted reflective

3.75

A whimsical and satirical adventure set in a medieval Europe, that sees book smart but naive young messenger William unwittingly embroiled in dangerous schemes and a fool's errand.  
William is set on a futile quest and becomes entangled in plots by rival witches, scheming royals, an ambitious jester, and magical beings. 
This is a lighthearted adventure filled with wit and humour, and explores reluctant heroes, the dangers of a medieval world, flawed but original characters, and a layered plot of mischief, and selfish motivations.
