 The SF Site Featured Review: Percival's Angel
The story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table as we know it today owes a lot to early works such as Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur and epic poems like Tennyson's Idylls of the King, which collate ancient legends with pagan and Christian iconography to create a lasting, near universal myth.
Arthur's fictional Knights are remembered for their honour and loyalty, their dedication to justice and good works -- very different in fact from what we know of actual chivalric figures from history -- and that's one of the points Crompton makes quite clearly with this story.
Percival's mother Alanna, the runaway widow of a Knight, is well-versed in the reality behind the pretty stories of knightly deeds.
