The War in Malaya
Arthur Ernest Percival, the General commanding in Malaya at the time of the catastophic events of 1941 and 1942, gives his authoritative account of the campaign. “THE fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942 was a great shock both to Britain and to her Allies.

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table
In a book which was written by me aforetime, and which was set forth in print, I therein told much of the history of King Arthur; of how he manifested his royalty in the achievement of that wonderful magic sword which he drew forth out of the anvil; of how he established his royalty; of how he found a splendid sword yclept Excalibur in a miraculously wonderful manner; of how he won the most beautiful lady in the world for his queen; and of how he established the famous Round Table of noble worthy knights, the like of whose prowess the world hath never seen, and will not be likely ever to behold again. Also I told in that book the adventures of certain worthy knights and likewise how the magi...
Percival's Angel
Lili's eyes can see in the dark like an owl. She can sense spirit auras of all creatures and perform magic more powerful than most. But because Lili is Fey, she does not possess the world's greatest power—the Human Heart. Lili wants to understand Heart more than anything and her human friend Percy is just the right person to help. Together they begin a treacherous journey—for nothing is more dangerous than finding true love. "Crompton succeeds in incorporating the mysticism of medieval romance into her fantasy...This well-written fantasy can be compared to Katherine Paterson's Parzival and will please the insatiable fans of Arthurian legend." —VOYA "Readers looking for a decidedly different take on the popular reconstructionist view of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table will find much to enjoy and consider in Crompton's latest book." —The SF Site
