The Light Beyond the Forest: The Quest for the Holy Grail by Rosemary Sutcliff
A retelling of the adventures of King Arthur's knights, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, and Sir Percival, as they search for the Holy Grail.

When the mysterious knight, Galahad, came to Camelot—and pulled from the stone the sword meant only for the best knight in the world—King Arthur and his court knew that things would never be the same again. The high and shining days of Camelot were over. Something new was ahead.

And with the appearance of the Grail—the cup of the Last Supper—the fellowship of the Round Table was scattered. Lancelot, Gawain and the others had to ride in search of this most holy relic—even though their quest might end in failure or death.

For, in the end, the Holy Grail could only be approached by one person—the world's most perfect knight.

Rosemary Sutcliff again uses her superb narrative style to bring to life a great ancient legend: the quest for the Holy Grail.
