Description

King Arthur's pursuit of the Holy Grail is one of the most exciting tales to ever be told. You will feel as if you're riding with the great King himself on one of his quests as you stare at the full-color photos and the wealth of illustrations, and read accounts of these mythical journeys. Internationally acclaimed Arthurian specialist John Matthews has taken a complex and detailed adventure and transformed it into an easily understood story. Five of the all-time classic tales are presented with more mystery, romance, and heroism than ever before. Thrilling and inspiring, King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries, and will continue for many centuries to come.
