Synopsis

Following the story of Arthurian lore and legend, this book concentrates on the magic, adventure and romance of the Celtic myth. It tells us about the sorcery of Merlin; the faery women of Arthur's court; the quest for the Holy Grail; the fellowship of the round table and King Arthur himself. Many of the well-known knights are included in this study such as Lancelot, Gawain, Perceval, and Galahad and the book tells of their chivalric journeys and particular detail of the origins of Lancelot and Tristian. John Matthews spent more than two decades studying the Arthurian tradition and advocates the personal involvement of readers in the legend. To enable the reader to be more conversant with the Arthurian Myth, exercises are provided which ask you to immerse yourself into your imagination and really sense yourself as part of Arthur's world.
