GREAT BOOK OF KING ARTHUR & HIS KNIGHTS OF ROUND TABLE HC (C

The stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere, Galahad, Gawain, Tristan and the rest of the Knights of the Roundtable, and the search for the Holy Grail have been beloved for centuries and are the inspiration of many modern fantasy novels, films, and shows. The Great Book of King Arthur brings these legends into the modern age, using accessible prose for contemporary readers. In addition to the stories in Morte D'Arthur, John Matthews includes many tales of Arthur and his knights either unknown to Malory or written in other languages. In addition, there are some of the earliest tales of Arthur, deriving from the tradition of Celtic storytelling. The Great Book of King Arthur includes 15 full-color paintings and 25 pencil drawings by internationally acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe. Introduction by Neil Gaiman.
