Gerald Morris grew up in Singapore, where his parents were Baptist missionaries. Singapore was a great, safe place to grow up, and he remembers that time with fond nostalgia. (Ditto for being Baptist, actually.) Since reaching adulthood, he has worked as a minister, a religion professor, a landscaper, and a teacher, all to support his predilection for writing children's novels. Or maybe the writing income supports his ministry habit. He now lives in Wausau, Wisconsin with his wife and three kids. (Okay, one's at college and another's about to go.) There he serves as associate pastor at the First United Methodist Church, writes children's and YA novels (mostly about King Arthur), and still occasionally scapes land.

After reading Nikki’s reviews of this author’s stories, I decided to give him a try. Like his other works, this charming little novel is based on one of the Chretien de Troyes’s Arthurian poems. The young protagonist Luneta is a sixteen-year-old girl from a not very rich but noble family. Chafing un...

This was a pretty funny little story. King Arthur is trying to teach his knights to be brave but also courteous and polite. Sir Gawain the Undefeated ends up getting the same lesson from a few others in the kingdom. I picked this one up because it's gotten some Newbery buzz and I've been trying t...

I love Arthurian stories and I fell in love with Gawain after reading "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", so I decided to give this saga a try. If anything, this book made me like Gawain even more. A light, witty retelling of knightly adventures really worth your time.
