King Arthur and the Grail Quest is a great book!!

As a student of Arthurian history (fifth and sixth century Britain), I am constantly looking for books about the historical Arthur. Of all the hundreds of authors who write about the subject, John Matthews is my favorite. And in "King Arthur and the Grail Quest," I haven't been let down. The first few chapters are about the historical Arthur, my field of expertise, while later chapters go into the history of the Grail legends, as well as the other bizarre happenings which sorround them, including the Templars, Cathars, Prester John, and more. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the history of King Arthur or the Holy Grail.
