The legend of King Arthur began in Britain. But it is in twelfth-century France that the stories really took off, with gifted writers creating a panoply of vivid new characters and elements such as Lancelot, Perceval, the Grail, and the doomed love between Lancelot and Guinevere, within a richly imagined, action-packed world of adventure, magic, romance, and mystery.

Women as much as men are important characters in the French stories. There's an intriguing take on shapeshifters and other supernatural beings, and fascinating glimpses of the patterns and customs of medieval life as well as explorations of conscience and the true nature of courage.

In the process, these extraordinary medieval writers, such as Chrétien de Troyes and Marie de France, created a whole new immensely popular genre of literature whose appeal and influence endures to this day.

Magical Tales from French Camelot by Sophie Masson captures the essence of those enduring stories and brings them alive for a modern audience.
