Gawain (Legendary character)

ALA/Booklist

Arthur tries to teach the dim-witted knights a few lessons in gallantry, but “knights who had spent their whole lives learning swordsmanship and pointy-stick-bashing did not always see how something else could be more important.” Renier’s irreverent line art makes a noble match to this funny, fractured take on Arthurian lore.
