Description

"Merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory's version ... with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources--and an endeavor to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story."--Pref.

Sir Thomas Malory

d. 1471

Best known for Le Morte d'Arthur, this elusive 15th-century English writer helped shape the version of King Arthur that later generations came to know and love. His life is partly mysterious, which makes the story behind the book almost as intriguing as the legends it tells.
