A squire’s view of Arthurian adventure

Terence’s move from an isolated woodland cottage into King Arthur’s court gives this Arthurian tale its central contrast: a newcomer learning the duties of a squire while observing the oddities of life among legendary knights. His service to Gawain brings a quest, while a separate journey leads Terence to investigate his parentage. The story combines familiar elements of Arthurian legend—court, magic, and chivalric adventure—with a young protagonist whose role is both practical and observant.

  • Readers interested in Arthurian legends and King Arthur’s court

Book overview

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.
