Book Overview
"Book of Sir Balin" recounts the tragic tale of Sir Balin, a knight of King Arthur's court. Known as the Knight with the Two Swords, Balin is a figure of immense strength and prowess, but also one plagued by misfortune. His story is interwoven with themes of fate, honor, and the complexities of chivalry in the medieval world.
Adapted and printed by William Caxton from Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur", this edition presents Balin's adventures, his noble deeds, and the prophecies that foretell his doom. Balin's impulsive nature and the enchantments that surround him lead to a series of unfortunate events, culminating in a fateful encounter with his own brother, unaware of their kinship, resulting in mutual destruction. "Book of Sir Balin" explores the darker aspects of Arthurian legend, illustrating the precarious nature of heroism and the devastating consequences of misunderstanding and fate.
