Third of a series that began with The Squire's Tale, this retelling of Arthurian legend concerns sixteen-year-old Lynet, who seeks assistance from Camelot when her family's castle is besieged. With the help of an unflappable dwarf and a bedraggled kitchen servant--neither of whom are what they appear to be--peace is restored to Castle Perle. The whimsical narrative features wry dialogue and memorable characterizations.
