Dreamers of the Grail

The Holy Grail. Is it the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper or perhaps a more ancient vessel of healing and longevity? For centuries it has been discussed, debated, and occasionally actively sought. What was it like for the eager knights of King Arthur's court to quest after this legendary artifact? Arthurian expert Dale Geraldson offers a glimpse of the mythical heroes that is unlike the other renditions that have come before. Here we meet the younger knights of the realm: the daydreaming errant and the headstrong child of one of Arthur's champions. Together, they go forth in the name of Camelot. Arthur has reigned for more than a score of years, but no longer benefits from Merlin's wise counsel or the idealism felt when he first took the crown. Camelot has earned the rank of greatness, but not without cost. As dark elements from the past threaten rebellion, Arthur must trust in his knights to preserve the legacy of his vision.

Dale Geraldson, author of Dreamers of the Grail, lived in Australia, Mexico, and Wales, discovering the Arthur legends as an undergraduate. His portrayal of Sir Perceval and Lady Galahad has received critical praise for its originality, along with his assessment of both the history and fantasy behind the quest for the Holy Grail.
