Gawain (Legendary character)

Squire's Tales series.
After growing up in innocent isolation, seventeen-year-old Beaufils is exposed to the world’s dangers, contradictions, and rewards (friendship chief among those) for the first time when he journeys to Camelot in search of his unknown father. This latest Squire’s Tale maintains the trademark balance of epic adventure, earnest idealism, and gentle humor that has made the series so successful.

In this Arthurian fantasy that picks up several years after The Squire's Tale leaves off, Terence finds himself at the beginning of another quest as Sir Gawain's squire. Although the novel builds upon plot elements and characters found in the first volume, the story stands well alone. Laced with magic, humor, and chivalry, this reworking of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" provides an engaging introduction to the original tale.
