Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A fun look at Sir Gawain and a new character in the time of the Round Table. While the humor abounds, I do wonder about the juvenile label. The themes seem a little mature (not "mature") for most kids to enjoy at the middle school age. I also liked how Terence comes of age with more wisdom and respect from his elders. Terence and Sir Gawain will haunt my thoughts until I revisit their further adventures in this series. ( ) 2nd read: I think I would describe this as a dignified, clean, Arthurian version of Shrek. 1st read: It all begins with a stewpot! Gerald Morris's humor is both physical and verbal, as Camelot is examined through the eyes of Terrence, a humble squire, and his no-nonsense master, Sir Gawain. I still reread them... Terence becomes the squire to Sir Gawain of King Arthur's Round Table. As they travel on their quest, Terence becomes aware of gifts that he has and he uses them to help in their quest. Sir Gawain becomes the Maiden's Knight. I enjoyed this book. Some of the tales made me laugh out loud. Some sobered me up. I liked Terence and Sir Gawain. Some of the characters they meet are a hoot. I am going to track down more of the series. no reviews | add a review
