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.

Best known for shaping the most famous English version of the King Arthur legends, this mysterious 15th-century writer helped define how generations would imagine Camelot, chivalry, and the fall of the Round Table. Even his identity is not fully certain, which only adds to the intrigue around his work.
