Reviews
Part ripping yarn and part religious myth, re-told in a seemingly seamless narrative with verve and panache, true to its sources but eminently accessible to a modern audience. * PENDRAGON * Fine, inspiring literature made wholly accessible. * FORTEAN TIMES * Can be recommended to those who wish to acquaint themselves with one of the most enchanting medieval legends. * INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF BIBLICAL STUDIES * [M]akes the Grail material accessible to students on several levels, from the undergraduate to the interested professional scholar outside of French medieval studies or Arthurian studies or medieval literature in general. * MEDIEVAL REVIEW * An original compilation that ingeniously weaves together several diverse strands of the Grail legend. It is an intriguing, and occasionally surprising, refashioning of the tale and its redactions. It is...a delightful read. * ARTHURIANA *
