Publisher Description

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table.   King Arthur’s Knights were brave like Sir Lancelot the Great. They were smart like Sir Givret the Short. But they didn’t always act quite as . . . gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthur’s nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone, like a giant Green Knight, needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage. Come ride along on this exciting yearlong quest of Sir Gawain the Undefeated-but-who-may-learn-a-lesson-along-the-way, as only the acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell it.

"Gerald Morris is a master at retelling King Arthur stories! This is the third book in his series, The Knights' Tales, aimed at younger readers. Like the others, this is written in easy flowing prose making it accessible to readers new to chapter books. The generous humor sprinkled throughout adds to the tales, while still holding true to the original Arthurian legends. This volume is no exception. I will eagerly await more in this series!"

— Yapha (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Hilarious story for middle graders. Great humour. Author does not over explain her humour or irony. Great moral to the story on courtesy. Loved it. "

    " Another great book in the series. I have never before thought that the story of the Green Knight was funny, but I'm glad that Gerald Morris found a way to prove me wrong. I was also glad to read about Gawain, who is my very favorite knight. "

    " Maybe it's because I generally read books for older students, but this was too cartoonish and simplistic for me. I did like the major plot reveal in the end, but overall, it did not stand out for me. I read this because I had seen the book on some mock Newbery lists. "

    " Not usually the sort of book I'd read but with the buzz on Heavy Medal I thought I should. Hugely enjoyable chapter book - funny, original and clever with a sweet message about courtesy. "

    " I put off reading this because I just didn't think I would enjoy it, but it is downright hilarious. With an economy of words, the author fully immerses us in the world of Arthurian knights. I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a book. "
