| Publisher Description: Perceforest is one of the largest and certainly the most extraordinary of the late Arthurian romances, and is the subject of rapidly increasing attention and research. It is set in pagan times, and tells the history of Britain before Arthur, with many extraordinary and magical adventures. Because of its enormous length - it runs to over a million words - Nigel Bryant has provided a version which gives a full synopsis of the plot and all the episodes linking extensive passages of translation |
