Oh no he got the knighthood ceremony wrong

Okay so you all know how the Arthurian legend is, like, a synthesis of Christian and pagan myths??? So GALAHAD AND THE GRAIL was very focused on the Christian elements of the legends (which is very appropriate and faithful to the great medieval retellings) but THE COMING OF ARTHUR is very much to do with the pagan/Faerie elements and I am SO HERE FOR IT

Right away the poetry is a significant improvement on GALAHAD AND THE GRAIL, I'm delighted to say. Much smoother and more assured, with a more varied vocabulary and nice use of alliteration and assonance.
