Publisher Comments:

An unknown destiny ...<P>A terrible curse ...<P>A never-ending quest ...<P>Raised by his mother in the wilderness, Parzival knows nothing of knights and chivalry — or of his own destiny as the son of Gahmuret, a member of Arthur's Round Table. Yet once he reaches the age of manhood, he finds himself thrust into a world of honor, loyalty, and sacrifice. Parzival's bravery and good deeds soon become renowned throughout Arthur's kingdom. But when he fails to say the words that will heal a dying king's wounds, he must undertake his greatest quest — a search for the Grail, the sacred vessel of hope and eternal life. Will Parzival succeed? Or is he fated to search for the Grail forever?

Synopsis:

Parzival, raised in the wilderness away from civilization, becomes one of Arthur's boldest and most respected knights. But when he inadvertently dooms a king to suffering, he must sacrifice all that he holds clear to seek the Grail.

Synopsis:

"Paterson distills Wolfram von Eschenbach's 13th-century German epic into an inviting retelling of the Grail quest, amplifying Wolfram's humor, irony and strong moral and ethical themes", said PW in a Best Books of 1998 citation. Ages 1014.
