![]() And magic and sorceresses and a lot of fun! And there are so many funny lines, likeable characters, unlikeable villains, tender love stories, and epic battles. ![]() All of the tales feature memorable characters and the plot generally involves the growth of the characters as their personalities evolve and change over the course of the book as they learn lessons from their adventures. Most of the characters are based on people described in the original tales, but Terence is Morris' own invention. The author, Gerald Morris, is an excellent scholar of these tales and at the end of each book he discusses the original tale or inspiration that he has rewritten and what he changed in his version. All of the books are retellings of the King Arthur tales. Th e first few books in the series heavily feature Terence, squire to Gawain, and his adventures questing with Gawain, who comes to be known as the Maiden's Knight. I've always called them the "Terence and Gawain Books" in my mind, but the series is actually called "The Squire's Tales" and this is Book 7. ![]() Ah! These books are so good and it's so much fun to re-read this series. ![]()
