Produktinformationen zu „The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf / The Squire's Tales (ePub)“
Third in the medieval fantasy series. "A perfectly delicious, not entirely serious, reimagining of part of Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur."-Booklist
Her castle under siege by an evil knight who keeps beheading all her would-be rescuers, Lady Lynet realizes the only way to get help is to get it herself. So one night she slips away and strikes out for King Arthur's court where she hopes to find a gallant knight to vanquish the Knight of the Red Lands and free her castle. Gerald Morris's Arthurian novel is a highly comic tale of hidden identities, mysterious knights, faeries and enchantments, damsels-in-distress, and true love.
"In Morris's third wry, sometimes hilarious, take on an Arthurian legend, a sharp-tongued young damosel gets an education in sorcery, intrigue and what true knighthood is all about . . . Fans of Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted, Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles and similarly lighthearted fantasy will be delighted."-Kirkus Reviews
"A rollicking treatment of a lesser-known episode from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur . . . The novel is also enjoyable for its good-natured spoofing of the conventions of its medieval setting."-School Library Journal
"A rare action-fantasy that crosses age and gender lines."-The Bulletin

Autoren-Porträt von Gerald Morris
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.
