Strength of limb, fair hair, and clear grey eyes told of a northern race, though his skin had been tanned to a red-brown, dark as the tint of the slender, dark-eyed, olive-skinned fishers born under these warm skies. In stature and might a man, he was scarcely more than a boy in years; beardless yet, and of an open, boyish countenance.

Originally published in 1905 and long unavailable in an affordable format, The Life of Sir Aglovale de Galis is a psychological reconstruction of the life of a minor character in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, showing the dark underside of the Round Table.

Written in the fine slow prose of contemplation, Sir Aglovale was Clemence Housman's third and final novel. It is also her finest achievement, a work of such impact that famed mystery novelist Ellis Peters called it "By far the finest work on an Arthurian theme since Malory."
