Ebook {Epub PDF} The Squires Quest by Gerald Morris

 · This ninth installment in Gerald Morris' wonderful, witty Arthurian series, featuring the ever-young Squire Terence, takes on Chretien de Troyes' tales of courtly love and exposes them for what they are: foolish, half-witted stories in which knights swear eternal devotion to their mistresses rather than their wives, tales that end tragically, such as those of Tristram and Iseult, and Cliges and Fenice, 5/5(5). Gerald Morris is an American author. Morris is known for his series of stories for preteen and teen readers based in the Middle Ages during the time of King Arthur. Collectively called The Squire's Tales, the series includes The Squire's Tale, The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady, The Savage Damsel and The Dwarf, Parsifal's Page, The Ballad of Sir Dinadan, The Princess, the Crone, and the Dung Cart . The Squire's Quest is my favorite volume in the series because it more than any other lets us see this philosophy in theory and in action as Morris's original protagonist, Terrence, returns to save King Arthur and his court yet again from the conspiracies of the evil enchantress Morgause/5(46).
