I think this would have been more important, and made more sense to me, were I still the student of Arthurian literature I once was. Even for the sheer entertainment of storytelling, however, I was very pleased to read this. I don't know that I would have ever come across it but for browsing in my very, very old library and feel my mind has expanded and the wheels of my own story-making turning because of it.

A hint? Go back and read the preface after you've read the three stories. It all makes a lot more sense. ( )
