About This Book

A retold collection of Arthurian legends presenting episodes around King Arthur's court and the Round Table, following knights through jousts, quests, and moral trials. Individual chapters focus on figures such as Gawain, Lancelot, Bors, Percivale, and Galahad, and on set-pieces like the Siege Perilous and the search for the Holy Grail. Settings move between familiar sites linked to the legends and exotic or enchanted places, while narratives blend adventure, romance, and spiritual striving to examine courage, honor, faith, and the personal costs of chivalric devotion.
