The tale of King Arthur and his knights has been told and retold countless times over a thousand years. In recent decades, authors and filmmakers have highlighted the pagan, druidic roots of the original Celtic legends, the possible historical sources for the iconic characters, and the grit and grime of Post-Roman Britain over the romantic sheen of the High Middle Ages. However, in many of the early medieval stories, especially The Quest for the Holy Grail, Arthur and his knights were not just chivalric heroes, but spiritual champions as well. While drawing on classic aspects and influences throughout the Arthurian canon, CAMELOT FALLEN returns the tale to its medieval Christian legacy, full of theology and allegory, telling an epic story of love, faith, despair, and redemption.This full, collected edition contains the entire Arthurian saga, plus a new preface by the author and an essay in the appendix entitled "Rex Quondam, Rexque Futurus: The Heroic Role of King Arthur Throughout History.
