Description
Maintains that Pearson's novel for juvenile readers "A Perfect, Gentle Knight" (2007) "earns the quotation that provides its title" from GP, 73, identifying echoes of the father–son relationship of Chaucer’s Knight and Squire, even though the novel is more generally Arthurian in its allusions and references.
