It's the Squire's Tales! Here we are at the beginning of a ten book series by Gerald Morris that chronicles King Arthur's reign through the adventures of his knights. These are some of my absolute favorite Arthurian retellings, but they're also fast reads. So reviews should be coming pretty fast for a while is all I'm saying.
