The Squire's Tale

by Gerald Morris
PRMS paperback 209 pages
genre:fantasy

Terrence doesn't know his parents, serves a hermit, and is an excellent cook. The hermit can't remember the past, but he sees the future as "memories." Thus when Gawain shows up, the hermit knows that Terrence will go with him to be his squire. And off they go to King Arthur's court, and off on a series of adventures. Morris' style was not my cup of tea - very episodic and jumpy. But it works well for sixth grade book club, and will help some of the kids to better understand the legendary tales.
