Teenaged Lady Lynet sets out for help from King Arthur who can
free her family from the siege of an evil knight. Along the way, she makes
friend with an odd dwarf named Roger and a scruffy kitche hand named Beaumains.
When the three return to Lynet's castle, they face shocking adventures
including the duel with the uncanny Squire Terence, his master, Sir Gawain and
the majestic sorceress Morgan. This
Morris's latest Arthurian novel is a highly comic tale of hidden identities
withe mysterious knights, faeries and enchantments. With its medieval setting,
some of the most courageous knights are presented to be none too bright that
explains why they risk their lives so whole-heartedly. Although some vocabulary
in this richly detailed work, the readers will be engrossed by the magical
world of knights, dwarves and damsels in distress. This element makes the story
is enjoyable.
