In which Terence lives with the hermit Trevisant (who can see the future but not the past). Terence meets Gawain, who is going to King Arthur's court to become a knight, and goes along to be his squire. They meet Tor who wants to be a knight too. When they get there the King gets married to the lovely young Guinevere. But on the wedding night a large stag and hound run on the tables! Then a ugly woman on a donkey comes after the animals and tells the Arthur to send two knights to go after the deer and dog. Sir Gawain, Squire Terence, and Sir Tor go. After many adventures, battles, bloodthirsty women, and strange lovers they meet Nimue who leads Gawain and Terence to a magical land where they learn new things.
The author turned these old Arthurian stories into modern versions. At the end of the book the author tells you what people he took from the old versions the main one being Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. They are so much fun to read. They are funny and full of adventure! You meet Morgan Le Fay (Gawain's Aunt) the evil Morgause (Gawain's mother) and Arthur who I just love! He is very humble, peaceful, and loves his Knights, people and country.
This is book 1 in the Squire's Tales series.
Recommended for people who like: Arthurian stories, Sir Gawain, and ADVENTURE.
