King Arthur returns to help Britain out of its modern post-war bureaucracy. I don't remember much of the plot, but I remember some stunning moments of description. And I remember it being funny, though perhaps not as funny as the Mouse that Roared.

the context of the book he can still manage many a humorous passage, but it's just not worth the slog.
