The grail went MIA
We've been dealing so long with the French obsession with the grail through English translations that it's difficult to believe that we have finally arrived at a grail text that was originally written in English. I say "grail" text, but is it really? I mean, don't you have to have a grail in it to be a "grail" text? It is my story, but the grail is nowhere to be found! What should we make of this?

Despite the lack of a Grail in this text I firmly believe it fits in nicely with the other texts as part of the Grail Saga. While being called the "grail" texts, these stories are more importantly about the knights and their quest for the grail. This text is packed full of knightly deeds. It has jousting, steeds, fair damsels, and my personal favorite The Black Knight. I think it is Knights such as yourself that really makes the Grail stories.
