About the book

Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur is the great English prose synthesis of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It recounts Arthur's rise, the fellowship of Camelot, the adventures of Lancelot and other knights, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the conflicts that threaten the kingdom. The work shaped the modern Arthurian tradition and explores chivalry, loyalty, love, honour and tragedy.
