This book is a very readable translation/retelling of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur.

If you love King Arthur stories this is a primary source but previous editions have been difficult to slog through as Sir Malory wrote in the 15th century.

Peter Ackroyd has done a fantastic job of bringing this classic work linguistically into the 21st century while retaining Malory’s lyrical prose and vivid plots. His introduction to the work and brief biography of Malory also is worth a read.

Sir Thomas Malory, a shadowy yet exciting character – rebel, debtor, murderer, robber - wrote this compendium of Arthurian stories while serving a prison sentence.

This book has recently been reviewed by the New York Times.
