The Princess, The Crone, and the Dung-Cart Knight by Gerald Morris

In this book a young woman with remarkably fine clothes sets out to avenge herself on the knight who lead to the deaths of her mother and her protector. As she travels, however, she learns that revenge isn't everything and that she's not the center of the universe. I was not familiar with the Chrétien de Troyes story on which this book is based, but I enjoyed the story. I also really appreciate this version of Lancelot, who seems to have given up his passion for Guinevere.
