Told from the point of view of the boy Terence, acquired accidentally as Sir Gawain's squire, the story presents an altogether different view of the feats of the often-vilified Sir Gawain, nephew of King Arthur, casting the famous knight in a more flattering light. The tale is filled with knightly derring-do, and both Sir Gawain and Terence are remarkably engaging figures, holding our attention and affection.
