A short story I recently read in 'Legends' by GRRM about ASOIAF, 100 years before AGOT, but not told from the highborn POV. I liked it, the hedge knight was Ser Dunk, with his squire 'Egg'. Further up, and further in!

There is a line in ASOS that tells what happens to Dunk. Does anyone know which line I'm talking about?? Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell

And of course, you've gone through the Targ charts to see which King he serves? Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell

I'm kinda confused...I just got a copy of Legends 2, so I guess the one that's about to come out is Legends 3??? Anyway, this has 3 stories: Terry Goodkind, G. R. R. Martin and Anne McCafrey. In any case it has the 1st Hedge Knight story which I am looking 4ward to reading. Who wrote in the orginal Legends?
And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

The original Legends was split up into different mass market paperbacks from one huge hardcover...you must have the one which contained the Martin story, I think.
Legends 2 is the new hardcover book which is a huge thing like the original Legends.
The first Legends book (in harcover) contained these novellas:

Stephen King The Dark Tower: The Little Sisters of Eluria

Terry Pratchett Discworld: The Sea and Little Fishes

Terry Goodkind The Sword of Truth: Debt of Bones

Orson Scott Card The Tales of Alvin Maker: Grinning Man

Robert Silverberg Majipoor: The Seventh Shrine

Ursula K. LeGuin Earthsea: Dragonfly

Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn: The Burning Man

George R. R. Martin A Song of Ice and Fire: The Hedge Knight

Anne McCaffrey Pern: Runner of Pern

Raymond E. Feist The Riftwar Saga: The Wood Boy

Robert Jordan The Wheel of Time: New Spring

I haven't seen the big hardcover Legends 2 yet, but I think it does contain some of the same authors (like Martin), and some new ones (replacing others perhaps?) like Robin Hobb with a Farseer story. Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell

I finished the Hedge Knight and Goodkind's Debt of Bones(a very engaging story, tho I hear his series gets rough and runs o/o gas) and Hedge was a very welcome little reprieve. I wasn't as funny as some on ASOIAF make it out to be but it was cool, very chivalrous, informative and starightfoward. What I mean by straightfoward is that it got it's points across in a direct manner. Now as far as straightforward as far as plot lines goes-well we all know Martin is too tricky for that. And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.
