In which Piers, who wants to be a page, and Parsifal, a woodsman who wants to be a knight, meet a nice old man who knows a lot about being polite and they live three months with him. Then they continue traveling and after many adventures with Parsifal and the knight Gawain, Piers learns more about his father (who may not be who he seems. . .)
Before this book I had never heard of Parsifal (I had never heard of Gawain before these books either but never mind that). In the author's note, Morris tells you how some of the names in these stories are spelled in many different ways, and explains why he chose the spellings he did for his retelling. For example, here are a lot of ways to spell Parsifal's name, you can spell it Percival, Parzival, Parsifal, or Peredur. All of these different spellings are from different places which I think is so cool! I can't wait till you meet Ariel, a water nymph who is so fun to read about. Happy reading!
This is in the Squire's Tales series.
