Synopsis
Sir Thomas Malory's version of the legends of King Arthur and his knights of the round table have provided literary inspiration for centuries. Written while the author was in Newgate prison in London for the last three years of his life, Le Morte d'Arthur was first published in 1485 by William Caxton long after Malory had died. The stories of King, Arthur, Sir Launcelot, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Gawaine, steeped in the magic of Merlin, still make wonderful reading after five hundred years.
