Description:

The closing volume successfully closes the important conflicts between England and France with descriptions of yet more unlikely, but historically factual, battle field victories. Not to “tell”, but much as the fictional hero is a device to place us in sight and earshot of historical events, the Grail Quest itself is a device to draw that hero to the scenes the author wishes him to narrate for us. And just when I thought the ending was going to be anticlimactic, I was surprised by yet another unexpected turn. So, I pulled out my copy of the author’s, “Agincourt,” and indulged myself in another tale of fact, however improbable.
