An immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, betrayal and death. First edited and published by William Caxton in 1485, Le Morte D'Arthur is the unique and splendid version of Sir Thomas Malory's Arthurian legend. Mordred's betrayal, Tristan's knightly exploits, Lancelot's fatally divided loyalties and his love for Guenever, the search for the Holy Grail; All the elements are there interwoven into a wonderful integrity by the magic of his prose style. The result is not only one of the most readable accounts of the Knights of the Round Table, but also one of the most moving. As the story progresses toward the inevitable tragedy of Arthur's death, the effect is cumulative, building with an impending sense of doom and tragedy toward its devastating end.
