One of the best of the Arthurian historical oriented novels really well written. The Pendragon is King Arthur and this is the story of his reign as told by Bedivere, Arthur's boyhood companion and comrade-in-arms who witnesses everything, from the unsheathing of Excalibur to the dissolution of the Round Table.
