GALAHAD AND THE GRAIL (#01 IN MERLIN'S ISLE: AN ARTHURIAD)

"An astonishing achievement, a ballad that picks you up and sweeps you onward into adventure, solemn magic, and beauty." -- Susanna Clarke, author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and Piranesi

In this first Volume of Merlin's Isle, join the prophesied youth, Sir Galahad, and the other knights of the quest as they set out from Camelot to achieve the Holy Grail.

A true, new epic of English Literature
Here at the height of his poetic power, Malcolm Guite delivers a tale of adventure in ballad form that plumbs the depths of the human soul, carries readers through the Wasteland, and sets us upon the numinous shores of Faerie in all its mystery and meaning.

This is not an epic destined to be sequestered in the halls of academia, but a tale to be read by young and old alike, to be read aloud among friends, to be read and cherished for generations to come.
