When Gerald Morris was in fifth grade he loved Greek and Norse mythology and before long was retelling the stories to his younger sister and then to neighborhood kids. He began carrying a notebook in which he kept some of the details related to the different stories. The joy he found in retelling those myths continued when he discovered other stories. According to Gerald Morris, "I never lost my love of retelling the old stories. When I found Arthurian literature, years later, I knew at once that I wanted to retell those grand tales. So I pulled out my notebook . . . I retell the tales, peopling them with characters that I at least find easier to recognize, and let the magic of the Arthurian tradition go where it will." Gerald Morris lives in Wausau, Wisconsin, with his wife and their three children. In addition to writing he serves as a minister in a church.
A heartwarming and thought-provoking tale, this story is sure to
entertain readers.
School Library Journal "Morris' retellings of Arthurian
legends--and others from English lore, mostly medieval--never
disappoint." Booklist, ALA "This installment . . . maintains the
same comfortable balance of epic adventure, earnest idealism, and
gentle humor that has made the series so successful in bringing
Arthurian legends to young readers." Horn Book Morris continues his
intelligent retellings of Arthurian legends with a tale of multiple
quests.
