A blessed king who strives for peace and justice; the round table where only the most gallant knights may sit; the dramatic quest for the Holy Grail; a fateful romance that destroys a dream: the epic story of King Arthur never fails to stir the imaginations of readers everywhere. This outstanding illustrated version adds to Sir Thomas Malory's skillful recounting with original artwork that creates a unique vision of Camelot. Some of these breathtaking, elaborate watercolors and pens-and-inks have hung in museums, including the depiction of the Tintagel Castle, the Sword in the Stone, Merlin and Nimue, and Guenevere rescued from the stake. With remarkable accuracy, Anna-Marie Ferguson captures every nuance of the historical period-the knights' shining armor, the intricate architecture, and the English forests with their abundant flora and fauna. Yet she also revels in the fantasy, with mysterious and magical landscapes, misty and moonlit. These legends have always been a treat for the mind-and now they are a feast for the eyes, too.


Industry Reviews
An astoundingly well produced edition of Malory's classic work on the legend of King Arthur. All 21 books are included unabridged covering all the essential elements of the legend that we know so well. From birth to death the whole Arthurian epic is here, including lesser known details that make your mouth water! The language is so beautiful and simple that the magic is almost tangible. This quintessential work has been the main source for modern interpretations; including Twain's 'A Yankee at King Arthur's Court' and T. H. White's now classic 'The Once and Future King'. Even the poet Robert Graves has commented that 'Le Morte d'Arthur' is 'an enchanting sea for the reader to swim about in, delighting at the random beauties.' Anna-Marie Ferguson's illustrations capture the spirit of the rich, romantic world so lovingly, and complement Malory's text so well that this edition is surely the best version of this classic in many years.
