Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2016 A Tale of the Last Knight of the Round Table Seven years after the death of Arthur Pendragon, Sir Percival, the last surviving knight of the Round Table, returns to Albion after a long and futile quest for the Holy Grail. The peaceful and prosperous home that he left a decade earlier is no more. Camelot has fallen, and much of the Pendragon’s kingdom has been subjugated by the evil Morgana and the Norse invaders who once served under her banner. Although the knight desires only to return to his ancestral lands and to live in peace, he vows to pursue one last quest before he rests—to find Guinevere, the Queen of the Britons. This journey will force the knight to travel the length and breadth of Albion, to overcome the most fearsome and cunning of enemies, and to embrace a past that is both painful and magnificent. The Return of Sir Percival is the tale of a knight who seeks peace, but finds only war, of a Queen who has borne sorrow and defeat, but who will not yield, and of a valiant people determined to cast of the yoke of their oppressors. It is also a tale of tragedy and triumph, and of romance lost and then found. The unique vision of the Arthurian world brought to life in S. Alexander O’Keefe’s The Return of Sir Percival takes readers on a journey that is as enthralling as it is memorable.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... coutel ne vit hon tel que Dieu le fist non pas nature au manche avoit ceste escripture " In honore Sancte et individue Trinitatis."' He then ascended into heaven, leaving the impression of his foot on the stone. From that day onward, under the fostering care of the Dukes of Normandy, the abbey increased in wealth and prosperity. The poet concludes the legend with these words: 'je ay rudement dicte 1'ystoire mes fermement la devon croire que saintes gens 1'ont approuvee et miracles 1'ont confermee devant le sanc donc merchi crie tu qui ceu lis, et pour moy prie.' In the foregoing account there is one omission: the writer did not know what was the second relic enclosed in the fig-tree. From the Latin versions we learn that the blood which had dried on the wounds of Our Lord was removed by means of a knife: ' In ipsa tamen depositione Nichodemus ille qui, teste Evangelic, venerat ad Jhesum nocte, non minima accensus dilectione, sanguinem veri prophete Jhesu circa vulnera pedum et manuum et lateris refrigeratum suo abrasit cultello et in sua reposuit ciro-teca.'1 It was this knife which was concealed in the second tube placed in the fig-tree. The raison d'etre of the second knife, that brought by the angel, is not very clear. I am inclined to think it may have arisen from the details concerning the preservation of the first having dropped out of the story, while the writer was well aware of the fact that it existed side by side with the Saint Sang at Fescamp. Now to what date should this tradition be assigned? If we set on one side as legendary the miraculous introduction to the story recounting the various foundations of the present Abbey, there is solid historical evidence for the tradition of its foundation in its present form under...
