review 1: Luke's Review: I liked this book because it was about a short, little knight, and I think he got his name because of his height: Sir Givret the Short. The most exciting part of this story was when Erec was standing in the doorway and Count Oringle threw himself from the nearest window because he thought Erec was dead. But he survived the fall and Erec rubbed his temple and then said "What's wrong with him? All I wanted was a drink of water!"
review 2: The legend of King Arthur is a very appealing one, and lots of people attempt to cash in on it. Some do it better than others. This is the case of the latter instance. Sir Givret is one of the lesser known knights of the Round Table. He is smart, thoughtful, and short. He helps out a lot of people while fu... morelfilling his quest as a new knight. Lots of humor and adventure. Easy to read. My biggest issue with this book is that it mixes even more unknowns into the Arthurian legend than already exist and I think it would be really hard for a kid to tell which is which. I think it is important to keep the legend more "pure" for lack of a better word. less
