| Publisher Description: The Holy Grail is central to the Arthurian literature. The lighthearted journeys for women and adventure build up to the journeys of the soul. It becomes clear that these earlier journeys were also not really what they seemed to be, not really journeys on horseback and clothed in armor, but journeys of the spirit.
