Book of Arthur-Lost Tales by John Matthews

This is a book of little-known Celtic tales of yesteryear. Forgotten tales include Gawain's strange birth and life times. A classic literary sequence describes a battle scene. " Merlin in battle Bravest of youths. Your courage has taken the years of your lives. A moment ago, you fought beside me. Now you lie (dead). On the earth, fresh blood upon you. " King Arthur had a habit of not dining until hearing of a wonder or seeing it in person. A classic quote from Gawain states: " I'll marry this hag, even if she is as ugly as Beelzebub." This volume has unique literary tales of the Book of Arthur. It is a wonderful acquisition for anyone interested in fine literature.
