Curated by the celebrated folklorist, this volume gathers some of the most enduring stories from medieval literature and folklore, retold with a clarity and charm that has captivated readers for generations.

Central to the collection are the Arthurian legends, detailing the quest for the Holy Grail and the adventures of knights like Lancelot, Galahad, and Gareth.
