And even while exploring well-trodden paths of the Arthurian legend, he mines his sources for fresh insight and uncovers deep corners of lore that have lain dormant for a century or more. Add to this Guite's natural facility with the form and his allusions and nods to poets and storytellers past, and the reader is left with nothing less than a royal feast of story and song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMerlin's Isle: An Arthuriad\u003c\/i\u003e is an epic ballad cycle in four volumes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalahad and the Grail (Spring 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Coming of Arthur (Fall 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnights of the Round Table (Fall 2027)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Passing of Arthur (Spring 2028)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Guite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951872479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951872472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rabbit Room Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Malcolm Guite","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447393071359,"sku":"9781951872472","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11b3d25e-0391-499a-b676-46ea6e52206c.jpg?v=1777230807","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coming-of-arthur-malcolm-guite-9781951872472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
