A easy to read adaptation of the tale of Parzival, the Grail Knight. Would be a decent introduction to Arthurian tales for my kids in a few years.

just something to read.

Parzival is a young naive boy who is brought up by his mother as far away from knighthood and chivalry as she can control. Until he runs into three knights on the road and decided he too wants to become a knight. We learn that his mother recognizes the dangers of chivalry and how violent it is. Interestingly enough, chivalry is what brings Parzival to near ruin. He's too polite and doesn't ask an important question. I think there are other, better, medieval lays out there. "Parzival" doesn't relate a very smooth cohesive plot. Many things happen randomly or very coincidentally.

this book was stupid

I really do love a good Arthurian legend story. This one was great!

A re-telling of the classic tale, suitable for children.

Great retelling of the greatest Arthurian legend for a young adult audience.

Its been a while since I've read this. It was ok.

Quick read that was a fun retelling of the epic by Wolfram von Eschenbach. Probably decent for as young as 9 or 10 even. I decided to check it out after reading Ready Player One and was not disappointed.

Am using this in my social studies class. The boys are reading this one and the girls are reading The Midwife's Apprentice. Then they get to share.
