So, is there anyone else out there that is in love with anything written by Gerald Morris? I've read every single Squire's Tale book...

Which is your favorite?

Why?

I really enjoy Gerald Morris's books! They are such fun for kids who already know chapter and verse about King Arthur, and also kids who have never heard of him and just want a fun adventure with a thoughtful edge.

I can't pick a favorite right now, but have you read the new one? The Quest of the Fair Unknown?

I've also read the squire's tale books. I think my favorites are the first two, The Squire's Tale and The Squire, his Knight, and his Lady, because Terence and Gawain are the main characters in those, and they are my favorite characters. I remember particularly liking the ending of the second book because of how the Arthur, Gwenievere, and Lancelot situation turned out, if you know what I mean.

I have read the new one! I liked it lots, but it's def. not my favorite...

My favorite would probably be, as araKnid said, The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady... Followed up closely by The Lioness and Her Knight and The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf.

See, Terence is my fav. character... but I really really like Rhience and Geheris.

*shrug*

I'm glad there are other's reading his stuff.. they seem so unknown.

Everything that man touches is gold...I feel bad for his children...he must have a hard time eating.. Anyways yeah I love all of his books. Though i'm short on cash so I haven't really had time to read them all. I've only read the first and second but they were AMAZING! My favourite was the second. So far.

I've read several and always laugh out loud. I can't sell them to kids, though. No vampires.

I love Gerald Morris! There was definite group of us in middle and high school who liked them. I will say my favorite book/ pairing is Gaheris and Lynet in The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf. They are so well suited to each other and really just make me laugh.

I love Gerald Morris! I haven't read the newest book yet, but I really love The Lioness and Her Knight and The Ballad of Sir Dinadan. I'd have to say Lioness is my favorite; I especially liked Rhience.
