Series: Merlin's Isle

""An astonishing achievement. . ."" -- Susanna Clarke, author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and Piranesi ""Vigorous and fresh. . . whets the appetite for much more."" -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury In this first volume of Merlin's Isle, join the prophesied youth, Sir Galahad, and the other knights of the quest as they set out from Camelot to achieve the Holy Grail. The accomplishment of their goal will not only heal the wounded Fisher-King, but will bring about the long hoped-for healing of the land itself.

Acclaimed poet Malcolm Guite's masterwork, a lifetime in the making Illustrated by award-winning artist Stephen Crotts Foreword by Hugo Award-winning author Susanna Clarke More than 25 full-page illustrations Color interior with unique illuminated capitals Clothbound hardcover with dust jacket Accessible for all ages A true, new epic of English Literature

Here at the height of his poetic power, Malcolm Guite delivers a tale of adventure in ballad form that plumbs the depths of the human soul, carries readers through the Wasteland, and sets them upon the numinous shores of Faerie in all its mystery and meaning. Guite follows in the epic footsteps of Spenser, Milton, Dante, and Tennyson, yet this is not poetry destined solely for the halls of academia--it's a story to be enjoyed by young and old alike, a story to be read aloud among friends and family, a story to be cherished for generations to come. Merlin's Isle: An Arthuriad is an epic ballad cycle in four volumes:
