King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
Retold from Malory
The Arthurian stories as Sir Thomas Malory told them in Le Morte d'Arthur, retold in modern English for younger readers and arranged in four parts: the coming of Arthur, from Merlin's prophecy and the sword drawn from the stone to the marriage with Guinevere and the founding of the Round Table; the adventures of the champions, Lancelot, Gareth and Tristram; the quest of the Holy Grail and Sir Galahad; and the passing of Arthur, with Lancelot's love for the Queen and the king's last battle. This edition, prepared by Rupert S. Holland and published in 1919, keeps Malory's order and much of his tone while clearing away the repetition and darker episodes of the original. An introduction explains the history behind the legend. Read it online in your browser on Vinteuil; the first chapter is free.
