While the other warriors of Camaalot and Logres blind themselves climbing toward the Holy Gradal, Gawain's quest is into the bilious depths of his own fury...
The stories of this volume -- exploring the vivid and strange Arthurian universe of the French romance-writers -- have been translated from Medieval sources (primarily of the 13th century), and challenge all of our modern assumptions about the Arthurian Legend!
Discover a Gawain very different to the familiar hero who famously faced the Green Knight; see why King Arthur's foster-brother Kei was even crueler than he was made out to be by T. H. White in The Once and Future King, or by Walt Disney in The Sword in the Stone, and find out why the whole Round Table wanted him dead!; hear the grim, dark origin of the Holy Grail, and re-experience the familiar Grail-Quest retold as a folktale, complete with crude humor; read how Sir Tristan was perhaps the most vicious and dishonorable knight in Arthur's Britain, and yet the most beloved; learn what really happened to Lancelot and Queen Guenevere after Arthur left for Avalon!
Eight magical, bloody sagas of Medieval France are presented together for the first time in this volume, some of which have never before appeared in English. Thunderously triumphant, cruelly subversive, these selected stories represent landmark developments in the tradition of French fantasy: a testament to that raw power and seductive draw present even at the tradition's very beginning!
