An A to Z of King Arthur and the Holy Grail

by Simon Cox, Mark Oxbrow

The enduring myth of Arthur, the once and future king, has been the subject of romances and tales of valor since the Middle Ages, and along the way, Arthur’s mythos has become entwined with the quest for the Holy Grail and its meaning. In this simple-to-follow A to Z guide, you will discover the truth behind many of the key characters, places, and stories, such as  Who was King Arthur? Where was Camelot? Was there a Round Table? What was the Holy Grail? Did Excalibur exist? How did the legend of Merlin evolve? These questions and more are answered as, through the uncertain mists of time, the authors unravel the myths and mysteries of the Arthurian legends.

Bits and pieces. Well, you dont expect encyclopedic books to tell you a story, but this one has actually done so. In fact it had told so many stories that it is now up to the reader to pick the one he likes the most and develop it into his own.
