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. There was Sir Lancelot the Great, Sir Kay the Loyal, Sir Bedivere the Just, and others, including young Givret, who was known for being . . . well, short. Poor Givret: his size makes him so easy to overlook. But there’s more to knighthood than height, and before long, Givret’s quick thinking lands him a place at the famous Round Table! As everyone knows, a new knight of any size must prove himself with a quest—even if he privately thinks his quest is silly. And so beginneth the exciting and comical adventures of Sir Givret the Short, the Brilliant, and the Marvelous, as only the acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell them.

" Cute short novel about a lesser-known knight from King Arthur's court, sent on a quest to help another knight out. Funny. "

" This book is hysterical! Sir Givret is so smart. He helps people out of sticky situations by using his brains. He is short. "
" Still good, but I liked book one better. I'd never heard of Sir Givert in the Arthur stories so reading this is not quite as much fun. But it's quick and still worth it for young knight fans. "
Gerald Morris loves to visit the world of knights and chivalry in his books, but he’d rather not live there. He’s much happier living in the twenty-first century in Wausau, Wisconsin. Gerald is also the author of ten books in the Squire’s Tales series.
