About the Book
Growing up an
orphan in an isolated cottage in the woods, young Terence never
expected much adventure. But upon the arrival of Gawain, his life takes a
surprising turn. Gawain is destined to become one of the most famous
knights of the Round Table. Terence becomes Gawain's squire and leaves
his secluded life for one of adventure in King Arthur's court. In no
time Terence is plunged into the exciting world of kings, wizards,
knights, wars, magic spells, dwarfs, damsels in distress, and
enchanters. As he adjusts to his new life, he proves to be not only an
able squire but also a keen observer of the absurdities around him. His
duties take him on a quest with Gawain and on a journey of his own, to
solve the mystery of his parentage. Filled with rapier-sharp wit,
jousting jocularity, and chuckleheaded knights, this is King Arthur's
court as never before experienced.
In
medieval England, fourteen-year-old Terence finds his tranquil existence
suddenly changed when he becomes the squire of the young Gawain of
Orkney and accompanies him on a long quest, proving Gawain's worth as a
knight and revealing an important secret about his own true identity.
The Squire's Tale is book one of ten in the The Squire's Tale series.
