The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady by Gerald Morris
5.0
[a:Gerald Morris|108693|Gerald Morris|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1241157954p2/108693.jpg] retells the classic tale of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" in a funny, yet multi-demensional story. It is told through the eyes of Gawain's young squire, Terence, who is one of my favorite heroes in any story, up there with Prince Caspian from Narnia and Faramir from Middle Earth.
I especially like the way this book dealt with the romance between Lancelot and Guinevere. It was a sub-plot, but I liked how it portrayed the relationship from the perspective of those who were on Arthur's "side" during the whole affair.
Terence and his ladylove, Eileen, are not featured in any other Arthurian tales besides Morris' retelling, but most of (if not all) the other chracters appear in classical Arthurian literature. This book takes the traditional and turns it into something that is both true to the legends and at the same time fresh.
One of my favorite reads EVER!
