You know of course about the Sword in the Stone. You have heard the
story of how King Arthur, when he was a boy, was chosen High King
of Britain because he was able to draw from the stone a sword which
no-one else could move. But that is neither the beginning nor the
end of the story of the sword. King Arthur never used the sword. He
fought his battles with Excalibur, the sword given to him by the
Lady of the Lake. That was because the sword in the stone was more
than magical, it was sacred. It was the Sword of Truth. And this is
how it came to be in the world. In this lively translation the
author has attempted to reconstruct the 5th century book that is at
the heart of Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur and set it in its
proper historical and religious context.
