    About this ebook

    The definitive book of stories from Arthurian legend.

    Delve into the enchanted world of Arthurian legends where you will meet the Knights of the Round Table, Wizard Merlin, King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. With plots full of romance, adventure and enchantment, these fascinating ancient tales have been revived by the author to reflect their origins in oral history and will appeal to a whole new generation of readers.

    Stories include Elaine Who Loved Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Tristan and Isolde and The Enchantment of Merlin, many of which have recently been adapted in modern cinema and remain a fascination within contemporary culture.

    The book also features detailed notes on each story and mentions specific places in Britain with Arthurian links, including properties such as Tintagel.

    Beautifully illustrated with images inspired by Arthurian legend by Arthur Rackham and others.

      This is hardly definitive, yet highly readable, fun & also covers most of the bases, in terms of an introduction. The links to what sourced the stories, the variants, and why they arose, is very well done. I would recommend reading the sources & further information chapters immediately after reading the chapter concerning the tale itself. It has a great bibiliography section which is very informative. Would prompt further reading & understanding of the folklore itself. Not complete, but a great introduction. Those looking for a more detailed summary or chronicle best look elsewhere
