(Anything to do with Geoffrey Chaucer's The Squire's tale? It certainly looks like it.

(The Squire's Tale is the first book The Squire's Quest is the second to last book in a series of King Arthur retellings; the series starts off with a more slapstick style humor and gains depth as it goes. Not having read Chaucer (yet) I'm not sure what influence, if any, can be inferred.
EDIT: I should pay attention to which title was used. 
)

@Meltintalle, Chaucer is a good read, all the more so as his Canterbury Tales is a series of stories rather than just one. Oh by the way, I did read the above title myself, even though it was first published before Australia's federation. (1/1/1901)
