Summary: Best version of this great masterpiece available
Review: I own well-over ten copies of Le Morte d'Arthur, and have read more than that number, and I can say with little doubt that the Penguin version is the very best available to anyone who wishes to read this classic. All Arthurian scholars should keep a copy of this two-volume set. I would also recommend this to anyone who has never read any of the Arthurian romances. This is the right starting place!

Summary: This is the book that introduced me to Arthur
Review: I read this book many years ago in high school. I knew next to nothing about the Arthurian legend, so I picked up this book in the library for a book report. It is a modern language edition of Malory's entire story of King Arthur. Unlike most "modern renditions", nothing is abridged or omitted.Some people are intimidated by Le Morte D'Arthur because of complexity and and antiquidated language. This is the book I would recommend. Even after all these years, this is still the best "translation" out there.

Summary: The Legend of King Arthur Lives On!!!
Review: When I began to create the curriculum for a British Literature course at the boarding school I work at, I realized the resources I was given to use only briefly mentioned the adventures of King Arthur and his knights. Medieval literature is one of my favorite subjects, and I didn't feel it was right for students to be robbed of the experience of reading this classic work. Malory wrote this classic work during the War of the Roses, a civil war that tore England apart. Through his prose, Malory hoped to resurrect the vision of a perfect medieval world. Keep this in mind when you read this book, and try to place yourself in the medieval era. You won't be dissappointed!!!

Summary: An epic book that rivals the Illiad in grandeur
Review: Malory's anthology of various King Arthur myths is great reading for the hero in all of us. The appeal of the Knights righteous behaviour and humility before God is an excellent example of how people should govern themselves. I'm not saying that one can just run about decapitating folks, or that "might makes right" but I do believe people should try to harbor good will, gentleness, and honesty. That just makes for better people. The stories themselves are fascinating. The Knights clearly maintain there high status, and in fact increase this, by serving Arthur. Arthur, conversly, does not act as a pampered King, but ventures off on his own, and jeoperdizes himself. Great reading, thoroughly enjoyable. I plan to read it to my sons to encourage chivalrous behaviour. Also an excellent look into the lives of our predecessors, hundreds of years ago.

Summary: Le Morte D'Arthur
Review: I liked this book very much. I think that if anyone is interested in the story of arthur and his knights should pick up this copy. This copy tells of betrayel, romance, chivalry and is probably one of the best interpretations to the original form of the story. If you want a quick reading book and do not want to read all of the literature that Thomas Malory wrote then pick up this. However the original is still the best.

Summary: The core writings of the Arthurian literature
Review: This is the one book I would recommend to anyone interested in the legend of Arthur and his noble knights. Sir Thomas Malory perfectly sums up the wide scope of the Arthurian times, with all the characters and their personalities coming alive with this brillant work. Also, this version under the editing of Janet Cowen possesses the most modern English, easily understandable, with no dictionaries required at your side.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: It isn't satire and it isn't mindless superficial reading. It is a classic for a reason, it is beautifully written by Malory who put together the various ledgens floating around. Malory started it, and the flood of versions came afterward. It is exciting and adventurous, consentrating on heroism and honor and chilvary. This is my favorite version of the Arthurian ledgens (the original), along with John Steinbeck's easier reading of it, called The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights. I reccomend it to any litterary folk!

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: In my younger years I became captivated by the stories of the great King Arthur and his brave and noble knights, and I must confess that as I have gotten older I still have never quite forgotten them. These stories continue to hold as much meaning for me as they ever have. For anyone who loves honor, adventure, love, and bravery, I highly recommend this or any other Arthurian book.
