Morte d’Arthur was one of the first books that John Steinbeck enjoyed reading as a child, and it became a favourite story to read to his own children. Here now is Steinbeck’s only work of fantasy literature—his modernisation of Malory’s adventures of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, who together took the oath of knightship, swearing never to use violence without good purpose, to be merciful, to protect women, and never to fight for an unjust cause or personal gain. Here are the iconic and legendary tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Merlin, and Morgan le Fay.
