Because of her lovely singing voice, Gatty (from Crossley-Holland's Arthur trilogy) earns a position as second chamber-servant, accompanying Lady Gwyneth to the Holy Land. With poetic but straightforward language, Crossley-Holland masterfully evokes the essence and texture of the medieval world. Gatty's memorable pilgrimage is exceeded only by her transformation from an unlearned peasant girl into a lady of property and substance. Glos.
