"The High History of the Holy Graal" was written by an unknown author (and translated from French by Sebastian Evans), and is considered to be one of the least–canonical of the Arthurian romances.

Excerpt from Leaves From the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands: From 1848 to 1861A record of the impressions received by the Royal Author in the course of these journeys, as might hereafter serve to recall to her own mind the scenes and circumstances which had been the source of so much pleasure.
