Passionate, magical stories about King Arthur from the author of The Seeing Stone.
Sifting through both literary and historical sources, Kevin Crossley-Holland illuminates the essential aspects of King Arthur's chivalrous world. Here, in a stunning full-color trade paperback for the first time, are stories about the sword Excalibur and Mordred, King Arthur's villainous son; the enchanters Merlin, Nimue, and Morgan le Fay; Lancelot and Guinevere; the daily lives of knights and ladies and pages; the meaning of quests and the search for the Holy Grail; Welsh myths and medieval romances; and much more.

"Camelot ‘was never a place on a map,’but you couldn't prove it by this book...to read and savor."—The New York Times Book Reviews
