Christmas in Camelot by Mary Pope Osborne

5.0

First of the more advanced series of "Merlin Missions," in which it is Merlin, rather than Morgan LeFay, who instigates the action of the plot. There is similar plot to Gawain & the Green Knight - Jack & Annie visit Camelot at Christmas, when a mysterious knight appears (dressed in red and green - Christmas colors - rather than a Green Knight) & presents a challenge (to this point similar to Gawain), to visit the Otherworld and obtain the Water of Memory and Imagination. And like the Gawain story, it is untested youths, Jack & Annie, who accept the challenge. The Water of Memory and Imagination can save Camelot . . . if Jack & Annie can succeed where the greatest of the Knights of the Round Table have failed . . .
