Le Morte d'Arthur: Volume 1

In this classic collection of medieval legend, listeners are drawn into the misty world of a kingdom forged by destiny and magic. The tale opens with the ambitious Uther Pendragon, his secret love aided by the wizard Merlin, and the miraculous birth of a boy destined to become king. From the dramatic moment a sword rises from an anointed stone, through Arthur’s first coronation and the assembly of the Round Table, the story sets the stage for a realm of honor, feasting, and looming conflict.

Early battles test the new king’s resolve, while Merlin’s counsel brings allies such as the courageous Kings Ban and Bors to his side. A vivid tourney showcases the chivalric ideals that will define the knights, and a haunting dream of a hundred warriors hints at the larger quest that lies ahead. Listeners will hear the clang of armor, the whisper of prophecy, and the promise of adventure that has captured imaginations for centuries.
