Peter Ackroyd’s new book by the classic of contemporary British literature is an exciting chivalric novel written based on Thomas Malory’s work (14th century). It is a masterful retelling of the legends of King Arthur and the first knight, Lancelot; of the love of Tristram and Isolde; of the prophet Merlin and the evil fairy Morgan; of the brave knights of the Round Table; and of spiritual and earthly trials in the search for the Holy Grail. The book is intended for a wide audience and will be interesting both to children encountering the thrilling adventures of the past for the first time and to people with a considerable knowledge base who want to enrich their library of classical literature.
