Thomas Malory, knight, adventurer, and soldier died on March 14, 1471, having spent the last 20 years of his life in prison, where he wrote most of his works. KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS is a thoroughly readable, accurate rendering of Malory's famous stories of King Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Gawain, and the Holy Grail. It includes the familiar exploits that have become part of the cultural tradition of the English-speaking world.

This single-volume edition of the complete works of Sirhe Thomas Malory retains his 15th-century English while providing an introduction, glossary, and fifty pages of explanatory notes on each romance.
