v class="sidenote">The damsel bringeth Sir Launcelot to freedom.

So, having arranged all these matters, the damsel Elouise opened the door of that room and led Sir Launcelot out thence; and she led him through various passages and down several long flights of steps, and so brought him at last unto a certain chamber, where was his armor. Then the damsel helped Sir Launcelot to encase him in his armor, so that in a little while he was altogether armed as he had been when he fell asleep under that apple-tree. Thereafter the damsel brought him out past the court-yard and unto the stable where was Sir Launcelot's horse, and the horse knew him when he came. So he saddled the horse by the light of a half-moon which sailed like a boat high up in the sky through the silver, floating clouds, and therewith he was ready to depart. Then the damsel opened the gate and he rode out into the night, which was now drawing near the dawning of the day.

The second of four volumes recounting the adventures of the Knights of the Round Table in a readable and entertaining style. This one covers Launcelot, Tristan and Percival, and is certainly another set of satisfying stories even if one takes into account the slight repetitiveness of the style - get

I liked this book almost as much as his first volume.

I think what I valued most in this book is that the protagonists here -- Tristam, Percival, and Lancelot -- all seemed to do the right thing, even if it created cost or pain to themselves, just because it was the right thing to do.
