In which Terence and Gawain are at the Christmas feast when a large knight all dressed in green comes and challenges any knight to play his game, to chop of the Green Knight's head tonight only to have his (whichever knight takes the challenge) head chopped of in one year. The King, being sad because his Queen has fallen in love with Sir Lancelot, says he will play. Gawain stops him and accepts the challenge. So Gawain and Terence go to find the green knight. Gawain is captured by a evil Marquis. Terence goes to the Marquis's castle and he saves Gawain with the help of the Marquis's niece Lady Eileen who runs away with them. They get into the Other World and find a magical castle with a silly lord and stay before they meet the Green Knight.
I love this book! There are a lot of funny-laugh out loud, happy, and scary scenes in this book. (It is hard to do reviews for these books because there is adventure on every page!) The author Gerald Morris has made up some characters like Terence and Eileen to make the stories more fun but most of the characters are from the Medieval versions of th stories like Sir Alan, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, and Parsifal.
This is book 2 in the Squire's Tales series.
Recommended for people who like: Kings incognito, mythical wild woodsmen, short-tempered ladies, and Sir Wozzle.
