Le Morte D'Arthur

Le Morte d'Arthur is Sir Thomas Malory's compilation of English tales and stories translated from the French about the legendary King Arthur and his kingdom of Camelot. It tells of Arthur's ascent to the throne following his removal of the sword from an anvil of steel, his choosing of his most valorous knights to serve as his Knights of the Round Table, his receipt of the enchanted sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, his marriage to the Lady Guenever, his adventures with Sir Lancelot, and his quest to find the Holy Grail.

This edition of Le Morte d'Arthur features the modernized text of William Caxton's original 1485 edition, as well as the classic full-color artwork of Arthur Rackham.
