But when jealous Mordred spurs rebellion, Lancelot decides to remain in Camelot and fight.

Reverend W. S. Harris (1865- ?)
William Shuler Harris is the author of 7 books which have become collectible less for their religious content than their usual presentation. Unlike the vast majority most religious books written for the general public of his day, Harris offered books whose covers alone captured the attention of the potential reader. Venturing beyond the striking cover graphics, the reader found unusual allegorical illustrations, moral & religious education presented through parables, allegories, and other appealing literary devices.
