About this book

King Arthur is one of the most famous names in history, although his existence is considered more legend than historical fact. Despite that, his name still evokes visions of fantasy, chivalry, bravery, and more even today, and Arthur remains a pop culture fixture around the globe.  Of course, Arthur, Lancelot, and all of the other figures were made famous in various Arthurian Legends written by writers from Chretien de Troyes to present movie directors. . Arthur came to embody the ideals of the Middle Ages: strength, chivalry, bravery, and more. Along the way, his Excaliber sword, the Holy Grail, his queen, and more have all become household words. Others still search for the seeds of truth in the Knights of the Round Table, and the historical figure that inspired the Arthurian tales.  One of the most famous is Le Morte d'Arthur, an enormous work that covers the twilight of Arthur and his death.  This edition of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen illustrations depicting Arthurian figures.
