HTML:<b>First in the medieval fantasy series set in Camelot. “This Arthurian adventure is all heart—and humor.”—<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br />  <br /> 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.<br />  <br /> “The author leaves some tantalizing questions, and the tale is filled with knightly derring-do.”—<i>The Horn Book</i><br />  <br /> “Well-drawn characters, excellent, snappy dialogue, detailed descriptions of medieval life, and a dry wit put a new spin on this engaging tale.”—<i>Booklist</i><br />  <br /> “If your readers are looking for some notable swashing and buckling with a little chivalrous slapstick thrown in, this retelling of Arthurian legend is the book for you.”—<i>The Bulletin</i><br />  <br /> “There are plenty of sword fights and flashes of sorcery to delight readers, while the plot moves at a swift clip.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>.
