The Quest of The Fair Unknown

by Gerald Morris

When Beaufils's mother is on her deathbed she leaves Beaufils with a quest: to find the father he's never know, a knight of King Arthur's court.  The naÏve youth has never seen the world beyond his isolated forest and doesn't know what a knight is, or who King Arthur is, or even his own name; Beaufils simply means "Fair Son."  Somehow, though, he ends up at the Round Table, where he finds a different quest-for a "very pretty" serving dish called the Holy Grail.
