King Arthur, tired and depressed, is holed up in a crumbling Camelot while half his knights vie to depose him. Cuckolded by his wife, Guinevere, he tries to find solace in bridge, but even there the skills that made his name as a young man have deserted him. There are newer stars at the famous Camelot bridge table — notably, Tristan, Galahad and young Gawain, one of five brothers from Orkney, who must take on the challenge of the Green Knight. Even as Arthur faces a final showdown with his nemesis, Mordred, the bridge deals dazzle and astonish. Full of dark humour and brought to life by Howard Pyle’s illustrations, King Arthur and the Knights of the Bridge Table is one of the most beautiful and brilliant bridge books ever composed.
