One of the most famous books inspired by the SCA is Peter S. Beagle's 
_Folk of the Air_, which describes an medievalist organization called 
"The League for Archaic Pleasures", which has tournaments to decide who 
will be king by right of arms, and it also describes a big war event, 
where a bad guy conjures up real medieval warriors to fight for him. 
It's a pretty good read, almost as good as _The Last Unicorn_.
