Heroes, adventure, magic, and romance. The exploits of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table come brilliantly to life in this masterly retelling by Antonia Fraser. All the familiar characters and tales are here: the sword in the stone; Sir Lancelot's love for Queen Gwenevere; Sir Galahad's quest for the Holy Grail; and Merlin the wizard, Arthur's old friend. And the forces of evil are at work too, as the wicked Morgan Le Fay plots to bring about Arthur's downfall.
