About This Book

A retelling gathers Arthurian romances and Welsh mythic tales into a single volume, presenting origin episodes, courtly exploits, quests, and the mingling of magic with chivalry. The narratives range from the rise of a legendary king and the forging and loss of a great sword and scabbard to the adventures of notable knights and a tragic lovers' potion, concluding with civil strife and the realm's passing. Rendered in clear prose for general readers, the selections foreground themes of honor, loyalty, temptation, and the moral ambiguities that follow heroic action.
