Howard Pyle The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur

The golden age of Camelot reaches its breathtaking conclusion in this fourth and final volume of Howard Pyle's Arthurian cycle. The focus shifts from the earthly glory of the Round Table to the spiritual heights of the soul, as the knights of Britain embark on their most daunting journey yet: the quest for the Holy Grail. Follow the noble Sir Geraint on his path of redemption and love, and witness the arrival of Sir Galahad-the "Perfect Knight"-whose purity of heart allows him to achieve what all others could not. But as the mysteries of the Sangreal are revealed, the twilight of the Round Table begins. Experience the heart-wrenching dissolution of the fellowship and the final, mystical passing of King Arthur as he sails toward the shores of Avalon, leaving behind a legacy that will echo through the ages. Richly adorned with Howard Pyle's final, masterful illustrations for this series, this volume captures both the divine wonder and the human tragedy of the Arthurian legend. It is a profound meditation on the end of an era and the enduring power of hope, honor, and the pursuit of the ideal. The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
