Jack Vance's Lyonesse Trilogy

Description: The Lyonesse Trilogy contains knightly quests; the Holy Grail is invoked; Druids practice sylvan rituals. Fairies and trolls recall Celtic and Norse legend. Vance knows the protocols of Celtic Fantasy; but he does not respect them very far, ruthlessly transforming them to his own ends; and his own inventions matter far more in any case. And so a wonderland of the exotic flourishes on the exhausted soil of the Arthurian cycle.
