Galahad: Knight Errant

The quest for the Holy Grail is one of the most fascinating legends in the Arthurian Canon. May E. Southworth provides a masterful account of this tale, following the young Galahad, a newly made knight of the round table, as he sets out from king Arthur’s court on his journey to find the holy vessel. Merlin, the king’s friend and counselor, had received tidings that Amfortas, the keeper of the Grail castle, and all his court, lay under an evil spell, and that the holy cup under this magic had mysteriously disappeared. He sent word to king Arthur of his news, advising him at the same time to select some of his worthy knights of the Round Table to undertake the recovery of this sacred relic.
Galahad mounts his white steed, armed with sanctified sword and shield, which seem to guide him from the start to the very goal of his quest … the abiding place of the Grail.
