Parzival: The Quest of the Grail Knight

129 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-525-67579-5
(4) 4-6 Paterson retells Wolfram von Eschenbach's epic thirteenth-century poem about the knight's quest for the Grail with a courtly yet accessible style. However, characters and events are many, and the compression of the story sometimes makes the adaptation read like an opera libretto, where you're still trying to sort out who's who when the action shifts yet again.
