Description

|
|
|
Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur held court with his gallant Knights of the Round Table. Poor Givret, who is easily the shortest man at court, bears the brunt of their jokes. But what he lacks in stature, Givret makes up for in brains—and soon his quick thinking has landed him a place at the famous Round Table, whence beginneth his exciting and funny adventures. From the same author who gave us the Squire's Tales series, this book is part of a series of illustrated chapter books for readers 8 to 12, based on Arthurian legend but clearly slanted more towards adventure and comedy than romance. "Rejoice, fans of the Squire's Tales. [Gerald] Morris is finally bringing his terrific recastings of Arthurian legend to a young audience.... More, please."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
