According to Graham, his favorite book is Ivanhoe;
- That would be Ivanhoe, by Sir Walter Scott. It has action, intrigue, romance, adventure, and romance--very inspiring!. it's historically accurate, with all kinds of fascinating information about knights and the medieval world. Of course you have to take it with a grain of salt. Whoever heard of a world with no dragons, unicorns of magic?.
Behind the scenes
Ivanhoe is set during 1194 during the time of Richard I of England. Which if KQ8 year 1000 (of Gregorian calendar) reference is taken for granted would place it almost two centuries after KQ8 later in the medieval era. Robin Hood appears in the story and it was one of the original sources portraying Robin Hood as a good-natured outlaw. Rosella encountered Robin Hood in Rosella's First Quest. However, technically 1194 would still be a year-1000 compliant date (assuming ye old medieval Eye Between the Worlds were fixed for year-1000 compliance, Y2K reference).
