“He tells of Arthur’s boyhood, and what happened when the young king drew the magic sword from the stone and claimed his kingdom; of his own adventure with the supernatural Green Knight.”

“As his anxious brain circles around this terrible truth, Sir Gawain tells his young squire the story of the rise and fall of the ‘fairest fellowship of noble knights that ever served a Christian king’, as seen through his own eyes. ”

“The search for the Holy Grail; and the rivalries and jealousies that splintered the fellowship and set friend against friend. ”

“A young boy learns that it can be a harmful thing to care too much about the one plant in his bleak yard.”
