About this listen

 Sometimes there are just too many rules, even when you are set to be a ruler someday...

Princess Pamela will one day be Queen of England, but all she really wants is a little freedom.

So she escapes Buckingham palace, and adventure ensues...

Escape from Buckingham Palace combines Arthurian legend and Leonard Wibberley's trademark humor to give the reader a wry commentary on government that's organized, nationalized, impersonalized, bureaucratized, and held together by red tape.

Also published under the title, The Quest of Excalibur.

"Few writers have so luxuriant an imagination as that engaging Irishman, Leonard Wibberley."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"As in The Mouse that Roared, in his new novel, The Quest for Excalibur, Leonard Wibberley writes so plausibly about the implausible that the reader willingly even happily suspends disbelief... For all the spoofing, there is an undercurrent of the poetic and a touch of wistfulness for a more humane society."--Richard Armour, American Poet and Shakespeare Scholar

"Perhaps because he has that old Celtic magic, perhaps because he has practiced the art of story-telling in many juvenile books as well as in his books for adults, Wibberley spins a tale as a spider spins a web."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

★★★★★ "A Real Treat: Wryly Funny Yet Romantic!"--Amazon Review

"Arthurian legend with humor. Everyone is caught up in red tape but ultimately bound together by chivalry."--Goodreads Review

★★★★ "The humorous adventure of Sir Bors and King Arthur. I loved the uniqueness of this book and want to re-read it."--Goodreads Review Literature & Fiction Royalty Satire Arthurian Funny Inspiring Witty Adventure

Much British fun

Another Arthurian flavored adventure, beautifully written, full of bucolic English atmosphere and a fast moving and amusing plot. King Arthur returns to 1970s England - take it from there…computer generated female voice almost totally convincing and satisfactory
