Stand Alone Fantasy Titles, August 2012

There are many who try their hand at the world of King Arthur, Gwenyvere, Launcelot, and the Camelot legends of the Knights of the Round Table, but none have ever matched the output of Sir Thomas Malory. First published in 1485, Malory's work is actually a compilation of the romantic tales and legends of Camelot, many translated from French. It is from the work of Malory that the majority of continued Arthurian tradition springs, including T.H. White's Once and Future King, Alfeed Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and the 80s cult-favorite film Excalibur. Le Morte D'Arthur is an essential part of any fantasy collection and a masterful presentation of the myth of Arthur.
