Somebody I once knew told me that there's a King Arthur series of novels out, but that they have quite a few fantasy elements in it as well.

Does anyone know the series or the writer?

Maybe T.H. White's 'The Once and Future King'?

No, I just checked that. It's too old.
I think it's supposed to be quite a recent series.

I'm thinking it might be Bernard Cornwell's "the warlord chronicles", but Wikipedea makes it sound like it's more historical than fantasy.

There's the Mabinogion, but maybe you mean something a bit more recent. There is Steven Lawhead's Pendragon Cycle (good name for a Cornish bike shop if you ask me).

I was just about to say the Bernard Cornwall ones.
They're pretty good.
Also, I read a series by Diana L. Paxton, but they were crap.

I thought you were going to write "pastry" shop.

Then it would be Pendragon Pies. I'd buy one of those, after a hard day's cycling through pastry.

Thanks for the tips, I'll go and do some library searching on the names.

I once saw a bike shop in Devon called "Breaking Wind" 😕

It's that marvellously expressive Celtic facility for language.

Bernard Cornwell's have very few fantasy elements in them.

You ARE going to come back and tell us the answer, right?
