Parsifal's Page (The Squire's Tales, #4)

Piers ( or Pierre, as he wants to be called) is desperate to become a page to escape the dirty, tedious labor of his father’s blacksmith shop. So when a knight shows up and says he’s on “the quest,” Piers begs to go along. Suprisingly his fathers lets him, and soon he is off on a series of adventures he never dreamed possible. However, Piers's knight quickly runs into some difficulties and is slain by an odd charachter named Parsifal who is on his own quest to become a knight. Piers has no other choice but to throw his lot in with Parsifal.

Parsifal is unlike anyone Piers has ever met and doesn’t behave “knightly” at all but slowly, Piers begins to realize that being a knight has nothing to do with shining armor and winning jousts. As their journey continues, Piers and Parsifal are drawn into the Quest for the elusive Holy Grail. They find that to achieve this quest they must learn more than knighthood: they must learn about themselves.

No knight's story has been told more often than Parsifal's, but no one has ever told his story quite like Gerald Morris does in his fourth Arthurian novel, another tour de force of humor, action, magic, and, as always, true love.
