This book is the third in T.H. White's The Once and Future King series. Again, Arthur and Merlyn are hardly featured - instead we follow perhaps the third-most famous character from the mythos - that being the inimitable Sir Lancelot, as he attains knighthood, gains renown, wins a ton of tournaments and jousts, partakes in the Round Table (which is by now well-established) and its quixotic quest to find the Holy Grail, and falls, ill-fatedly, in love with Queen Guinevere. Despite being the longest instalment in the series perhaps the least of overall plot import happens in this one - it's a lot of fun nonethless.
