About this book
Arthur's court gathers together knights, strange adventures and difficult claims of loyalty in Beatrice E. Clay's prose retellings for young readers. Drawing on English and Welsh traditions, the collection includes the Round Table, Excalibur, Merlin and the quest for the Holy Grail. Its introduction considers the difference between the Arthur of early accounts and the figure celebrated by later storytellers, explaining how legends spread through books and the performances of travelling minstrels.
The stories also bring courtly ideals into family life. In the account of Geraint and Enid, a tournament leads to a feast, restored lands and a marriage at Caerleon. Geraint later returns to Devon to restore order after raids, while his devotion to Enid causes concern among his nobles. These episodes offer an entry into Arthurian legend through public duties, personal attachments and the choices that test a knight's reputation.
