About This Book

A narrative cycle presents episodes of chivalry, bitter rivalries, and doomed romances around King Arthur's court. It follows Tristan and Isolde's secret love and the treachery of King Mark, scenes of tournaments and single combat, and Lamorak's tragic end at the hands of jealous kin. The Quest of the Holy Grail recounts enchantments and spiritual trials faced by Galahad, Percivale, and Sir Bors, including visions and miraculous artifacts. Later sections trace the illicit passion between Lancelot and Guinevere, attendant betrayals, sieges and internecine war, and conclude with the final combats and the passing of the realm's greatest knights.
