Eighteen-year-old Dinadan is more interested in telling tales and playing songs on his rebec than becoming a knight, but that doesn't stop his disappointed father from drunkenly knighting him. Sir Dinadan embarks on a series of picaresque adventures that includes playing a role in the saga of Tristram and Iseult. Written in accessible prose and laced with occasional magic, the novel features a continually maturing hero.
