A Catholic Quest for the Holy Grail by: Charles A. Coulombe
Non-fiction: History, Religion, NYR, E-Book
E-Book Count:2
Book Count:2
As you might have guessed from the title and the fact that it is a e-book, this is a book I picked up for my Amazon free book for the month on the last day of the month and so grabbed something rather then have no book for the month. Having said that, this book was a lot better then I thought that it would be. Much of the book deals with the history of the church as well as the common stories and legends related to the Holy Grail. This includes both the stories related to King Arthur as well as other ones like the grail stories relating to Charlemagne. It tells about orders of knights and related histories as well. The only part that got a little meh was at the end were it becomes about the stories of the grail in the modern world, where while pointing out good points in the past and bad things about modern life, it doesn't do the inverse, leading to a "The past was so great and perfect," vibe.
