![]() ![]() ![]() While the launching of the quest is rather labored-Mordred’s involvement in Camelot’s plight is explained quickly and not altogether satisfactorily-once Jack and Annie get going, the story moves along at a good clip, full of magical talismans, rhyming clues, Otherworldly foes, and a happy ending. Their quest is to travel to the Otherworld to bring back the Water of Memory and Imagination in order to restore Camelot to its former glory. This time, however, instead of traveling to actual places and times in history, they find themselves at Christmas in Camelot-a Camelot sadly transformed from a place of celebration and laughter to one from which joy has been robbed and magic banished.
