A retelling of the first part of "The Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney" (nephew to King Arthur), who comes to court and works for a year in the kitchen before going out to defend a princess's sister from the Red Knight, and winning her love.

"She is my lady and I have fought many battles for her."
"I think it was a waste of labor....To love one who does not love you is great folly." (the Red Knight and Gareth) ( )

The story is not as strong as the illustrations, unfortunately... ( )

Great illustrations. A tale of a knight in Arthurian legend. ( )

A retelling of a King Arthur tale. Tells how Gareth brother to Gawian, disguises himself as a kitchen boy to get closes to King Arthur and become a knight. He rescues the damsel in distress from the Red Knight.

This is a good example of legend. It is a story that has been passed down for generations. It probably has some truth in the background. King Arthur probably really lived, but I doubt this story happened as it is told. The character of Sir Orkney is a static character. Although he portrays himself differently though out the book it is really peoples reaction to him not him that changes.
