Gerald Morris

Gerald Morris (October 29, 1963– ) is an American author. Morris is known for his series of stories for preteen and teen readers based in the Middle Ages during the time of King Arthur. Collectively called "The Squire's Tales", the books blend retellings of traditional Arthurian Myths, such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Tristan and Iseult, with original plotlines. The books at the start of the series focus somewhat on Sir Gawain, but primarily on Terence, an original character and Gawain's squire. Although the two characters' roles are minor in some books, they remain throughout the series, whereas main characters from the other books are only mentioned or reappear briefly later in the series.

His new series, "The Knights' Tales" is for younger readers and began with ''The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great'', published in 2008, followed by ''The Adventures of Sir Givret the Short'' in the same year. Next came ''The Adventures of Sir Gawain the True'' in 2011. His most recently published book from this series is ''The Adventures of Sir Balin the Ill-Fated'', published in 2012.
