Squire Terence has his hand full helping Sir Gwain on his latest quest to find the Green Knight. Along the way they meet the damsel Eileen and have a host of adventures.
Back at Camelot the newest knight, Sir Lancelot is causing a stir among the court and especially the Queen.
Told from the point of view of usually minor characters – The Squire’s Tales continues to be a funny, fresh look at Arthurian legends. The second book in the series is a retelling of “Sir Gwain and the Green Knight”

The latest in my series of fan arts for Gerald Morris’s Squire’s Tales series.
This time we’ve got Beau, Ellyn, and Lady Synadona From The Quest of the Fair Unknown
super fabulous YA lit meme
5/10 series or books: The Squire’s Tales by Gerald Morris
“The greatest adventures begin simply.”
“You called me craven, I know.”
“Was that before or after you called me a scurrilous knave?”
“Before, I’m sure.”
“What about varlet? I’m sure you called me a varlet.”
A retelling of the tale of Tristan and Iseult from the point of view of Tristan’s long-suffering brother. Dinadan wants to be a minstrel but his father insists on him being a knight. Despite himself he ends up being heroic and becoming one of Arthur’s knights.
Like the rest of the series this book is funny & action packed. It gives a new spin to the old story with Tristan and Iseult coming out looking very different than usual.

Some floating Squires Tales heads. What lovely characters :3 (Gareth, Gawain, Gaheris, Lynet, Terence, and Eileen because I finished rereading Savage Damsel last week)
The Quest of the Fair Unknown did not disappoint, and also gave me doodle urges
while I’m still chipping away at two more ST paintings um.So have some Beaufils (or at least what he kinda looks like in my head) and a dash of maybe-Galahad, and a Ellyn cameo.
“As for Dinadan, he and Palomides rode the length and breadth of England-and every other nation-singing the tales of Arthur and his knights to everyone who would listen, in every language they could learn, for as long as they both lived.”
This is my first aesthetic! I started this series in high school and never finished; 9 years later, and I still love it just as much now as I did back then. Any other Squire’s Tales fans out there??
“There was a light tapping on the door, and Eileen peeked in. She wore a long dress of pale yellow that just matched her hair. Terence beckoned her in and, with a vague sense of surprise, realized that he loved her.”
