Squire's Tales

Squire's Tales series.
This final series installment tackles the end of Camelot: death, destruction, and the extinction of chivalry. Morris's great accomplishment is tracing these events without dampening the courage and optimism of his big-hearted protagonists. The knights' simplicity, honor, and kitchen-table philosophizing will continue to entrance readers, straight through to the end of this thrilling, elegiac, hope-from-the-ashes saga.

Squire's Tales series.
In this series entry, Terence again takes up the narrative reins. When Mordred arrives in King Arthur's court, Terence is one of few to suspect that the man's winning nature hides an evil purpose. With engaging characters and subplots both humorous and tragic, Morris credibly weaves some of the darker Arthurian tales into the series' thematically optimistic tapestry.

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.
