A book that doesn't take itself too seriously - which makes it more enjoyable to read.

Brother Hermitage, Wat (weaver of pornographic tapestries) and Cwen are sent on a mission to find a dead Norman - one particular dead Norman - in the whole of Wales. But there is a prophecy predicting disaster - nonetheless Hermitage and entourage undertake the deadly mission.

Not all is as it seems, and it takes Hermitage (not the sharpest tool in the shed) some time to figure out just what is really going on - however, along the way there are some Monty Pythonesque style adventures to be had.

Style of writing puts me in mind of "Grailblazers", "Barry Trotter", "Game of Groans".
