Central figures in medieval literature, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today. Drawing on the legends of Camelot from French and English sources, Sir Thomas Malory compiled the drama of illicit love, the magic of sorcery, and the quest for the Holy Grail into a sordid and chivalrous tale that's been recounted for centuries. This beautiful leather-bound volume, which includes intricate line illustrations by renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley, will be a treasured edition of classic Arthurian folklore in any home library.
