This collection of tales, by Sir Thomas Malory, is the paramount version of the Arthurian cycle. Composed towards the end of the fifteenth century, it is the last and greatest of the Arthurian romances; a rich and haunting tapestry. More than six hundred years after its creation it remains one of the finest examples of English writing, containing something to delight and inspire anyone who dips into its pages. For this is a story which reflects every aspect of human life - love, war, heroism, spiritual striving, comedy, tragedy, mystery - and introduces us to a remarkable set of characters. It retains as much power to move us today as it did our forbears. This great work was the single most important source for every subsequent version of the legend.
