Booklist - 04/01/2011 Morris adds to his Knights’ Tales series of farcical chivalry-and-derring-do yarns with this take on one of the better-known Round Table legends. After Sir Gawain chops off the head of the fearsome Green Knight, and before fulfilling his vow to let the Green Knight return the favor, he and the other knights spend a year questing about. Arthur tries to teach the dim-witted knights a few lessons in gallantry, but “knights who had spent their whole lives learning swordsmanship and pointy-stick-bashing did not always see how something else could be more important.” Renier’s irreverent line art makes a noble match to this funny, fractured take on Arthurian lore. - Copyright 2011 Booklist.
