The Squire's Tales!! I love them too. They were a childhood favorite and I still periodically reread them, they still hold up. Terence is my favorite character, he's so awesome. Plus I love Morris's interpretation of ... pretty much every character from Arthurian legend, haha. And the way he affectionately pokes fun at some of the sillier elements of those tales.

I'm not sure if I've read this, and I am such an Arthurian lore whore <3
(I liked T.A. Barron's Tales of Merlin series SO MUCH and that too is most certainly YA. Just because it's put into a certain genre doesn't mean that it's not just a solid piece of good literature!

I will keep an eye out for it!

Saying they're 'basically for children' and that makes you embarrassed is kinda silly. Who cares? How many people in fandom are over forty and happily into all kinds of 'kids' stuff? I re-read my favorite kids books all the time, (Secret Garden, the Laura Ingalls books, Black and Blue Magic, etc.) because they're *good stories* and they make me happen.

Just enjoy what you like and quit worrying about how some random 'other' may or may not judge you.

I've read quite a few versions of the Arthurian legend, but not this one. Thanks for the rec, OP! My favorite is probably Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave trilogy.

I remember this! It's a really great book, and one of my favourites along with The King's Damosel. It balanced silly and serious perfectly.

I should look into this one...

OP, I just wanted to let you know that my eyes widened and I got this great big grin just seeing a secret about these books. Don't feel silly about liking them--my most of my favorite authors (Susan Cooper, Tamora Pierce, Gerald Morris), all wrote "children's stories." A good book is a good book, no matter who it's aimed at.
