From School Library Journal:Grade 3-6?With castles shrouded in mist, clashing warrior knights, and beautiful young men and women gazing into each other's eyes, this picture book exudes romance. Drawn from the 12th-century writings of Chretien de Troyes, the story of Yvain, one of King Arthur's knights, has magic, love, great deeds, and a happy ending. Yvain fights the Black Knight at the magic spring, marries a queen, and leaves on a one-year quest for adventure. Occupied with jousts, tournaments, and deeds such as killing a dragon and rescuing a great white lion, he returns to the magic spring and, with the help of the Queen's handmaid, wins his estranged wife's heart once more. The full-page, realistically rendered paintings, done in classic N.C. Wyeth style, fit the tale well. All the elements of medieval romance appear in Howe's stylish retelling, but it is his pictures of handsome knights and beautiful maidens, fierce battles, and strange monsters that will capture the imaginations of readers who love the legends and lore of the Middle Ages.?Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ
