Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Of this sequel to A Squire's Tale, based on Arthurian legend, PW said, "For those who like their adventures fast and flip, this questing comedy is good sport." Ages 12-up. (June) n
Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist

Young Terence, squire to Sir Gawain, can't deny that things at Camelot are changing--and not for the better. Handsome new knight Sir Lancelot has eclipsed Gawain's star and also has won the heart of Queen Guinevere, sending courtiers into a gossipy frenzy, and beloved King Arthur into a depression. When the mysterious, otherworldly Green Knight issues a daunting challenge, only Gawain accepts, proving his loyalty to Arthur, though embracing potential tragedy. But the quest proves a soul-searching, ultimately rewarding personal pilgrimage. A sequel of sorts to Morris' The Squire's Tale (1998), this delightful interpretation of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" stands well on its own. The glory days of knights and quests are brought to life with humor, dimensional characters, exceptionally descriptive prose, and fresh, modern dialogue. Although Morris takes some liberties with the story line and characters--explained in a charming, informative endnote--his novel, with a skillful use of wit and drama, illustrates that heroes of life and literature are by no means diminished by human folly. Shelle Rosenfeld --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, Sep 12 2003
By Amarantha "faeryrosemari" (Over sea under stone) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is really funny. It only reminded me a little of Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, though I have heard it called almost the same. The style of writing is extremely funny, and anyone looking for a similar style of writing should read P.C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles and Sorcery & Cecelia.
The characters were well done, and I found the attitude towards Guinevere, French Knights and Lancelot very funny. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for anyone..., Jun 12 2003
By Roberta Storrie (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady (Hardcover)
"The Squire, His Knight and His Lady" is a wonderful, enchanting book that I personally love. Mr. Morris' writing just brings every character to life, and makes you fall in love with them. Smart, sharp dialogue, great characters, well-written adventure/action scenes, romance and deceit, and even a few poignant moments are all combined into this book. Who could ask for more than that in a book?

After a confrontation with the Green Knight, Gawain and Terence set out on an adventure that may resolve in Gawain's death. Along the way, they encounter an array of quirky characters, including the witty Lady Eileen. A wonderful, surprising ending leaves the reader in awe.
ALL-AROUND EXCELLENT BOOK!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars COPY CAT!!!!!, Nov 27 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
Sure, it's a good book but please, the whole plot is borrowed. The names, plot, personaliy, everything seems the same as Lloyd Alexander's books. I mean Taran and Terence, Eilonwy and Eileen. Eileen is sooooo much like Lloyd Alexander's Eilonwy. I love the parts at the castle with King Arther ect. but the rest of the story......

Maybe I'm just being picky but I really think that if Gerald Morris can't come up with his own names then he shouldn't be writing.

To anyone out there who likes Lloyd Alexander then don't read this book. It makes you feel cheated. If you haven't read his books then maybe you will like this book. I don't know.
