The Pendragon 9 reviews
Catherine Christian, Thomas, Sir Malory
Warner Books, 1984
STRENGTH OF WORDS
If you are an Arthurian reader who appreciates insightful, well developed characters this book should be in your collection. I hope it is reprinted someday, it is a fine epic. Told in the first person by Bedivere, it gives an account that is largely from the Malory/Geoffrey of Monmouth stories but with changes that make many events more plausible. The author skillfully sets the tone to ...

Amazing story!
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is the best book i`ve ever read! Right when you`re done you`ll hear swords banging together in your head! It`s from King Arthur being crowned king all the way to saving Camelot and the last battle of the land of Logres. I highly recommend it.

King Arthur & His Knights (Children's Classics)10 reviews
Sir Thomas Malory
Children's Classics, 1987
Beautiful volume / Beautiful stories
This is an excellent book for any child (or even an adult). The pictures are crisp and colorful. The stories are thrilling and heroic. I've been a fan of Arthurian tales since I was small, and when my child was small I bought this volume for her. She has since moved onto the more detailed version, but she always enjoyed the stories in this simpler version of Mallory's 'Le Morte d'Arthur'. ...

The Death of Arthur (Great Epics) 2 reviews
Thomas, Sir Malory
Naxos Audiobooks, 1994
Wonderful Story, Wonderful Reading
Sir Thomas Malory's story of King Arthur is a lovely classic and
Philip Madoc is a great narrator. I have never listened to any of his audio CD readings and been disappointed. Another highly recommended product.

Le Morte D'Arthur: Complete, Unabridged, Illustrated Edition9 reviews
Sir Thomas Malory
Cassell Illustrated, 2003
A beautiful book!
The core story of Arthur: how he defeated the Saxons and saved the Britons is completely absent in this late Medieval canonical version of the Arthur story. What we have is an English re-telling of the tales the French told about him, ultimately going back to Welsh sources. Arthur is clearly portrayed as English in this re-telling, and has all the apparatus of a 15th Century monarch, such as ...

Le Morte Darthur (Norton Critical Editions)69 reviews

W. W. Norton, 2003
Signet translation much better than others
I bought this Signet translation by Keith Baines after a frustrating attempt to read the Modern Library translation by William Caxton. Caxton's dry, stilted rendition left me hungry for a cleaner, more modern version.
Here's a prime example from page 1:
Caxton: "It befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England, and so reigned, that there was a mighty duke in ...

An inspiring work that sensationalizes the legend of King Arthur and his knights. Malory narrates the adventures and the brotherhood amongst the knights and concludes the book with the tragic breakdown of their fellowship. The extremely romantic prose language has rendered the work timeless.

Tales of King Arthur 2 reviews

Schocken, 1989
Camelot 101
I was looking for a quick-to-read compilation of the key Arthurian tales, and I found it here, so I wasn't as bothered by the previous reviewer by the cutting away of so much of Malory's original text (the cover does warn that the book is abridged). The author struck a compromise between rewriting the original archaic English (the Steinbeck solution, unfinished, alas) and leaving it alone by ...
