About
The DUNK AND EGG TALES are a series of short novels written by George R. R. Martin, also known as "Tales of the Seven Kingdoms." The stories take place roughly 90-100 years before the events of A Game of Thrones and follow a hedge knight (Dunk) and his squire (Egg).
Below is the description of THE HEDGE KNIGHT:
THK Graphic NovelNight falls over the life of one noble knight and brings the dawn of his squire''s knighthood. Dubbing himself "Ser Duncan the Tall," "The Hedge Knight" sets forth to the tourney at Ashford Meadow in search of fame and glory and the honor of upholding his oath as a knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Unfortunately for him, the world isn't ready for a knight who keeps his oaths, and his chivalrous methods could be the very cause of his demise.
Dunk's story begins with The Hedge Knight, featured in Robert Silverberg's Legends anthology, and continues in The Sworn Sword, from Legends II, and The Mystery Knight, from Warriors, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois.
The Hedge Knight can be found in Legends 2 and GRRM's Dreamsongs: Volume II. The Sworn Sword can be found in Legends II: Dragon, Sword, and King. The first two Dunk and Egg Tales were also adapted as graphic novels by Dabel Bros. Pro and Marvel: The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword. The Mystery Knight is currently available in Warriors.
