"The most important and challenging book on Arthurian and Grail
tradition for many a long year." - Gareth Knight. The relationship
between human and Faery lies at the very core of the Arthurian
stories. In this radical re-evaluation of the Grail legends, Wendy
Berg brings the ancient mythology of the British Isles into sharp
focus centred around the marriage of King Arthur to the Faery
Gwenevere and the origin and destiny of the Grail Hallows. Drawing
upon numerous Arthurian sources and other related texts from the
Book of Genesis to The Lord of the Rings, she explores the magical
ritual underpinning of the legends and their connection to the
ancient stellar deities of Britain. "When these stories are read
with the additional level of understanding that they are for the
most part a record of the lives and relationships of Faeries and
humans working together about the Round Table, they immediately
become not only a great deal more interesting, but also acquire a
new and vivid relevance for the present day."
