Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Leather-bound Classics) Leather Bound – October 1, 2015

Love this book ..has pictures and a great leather binding

Great quality book, bound well. Amazing gift for a book collector

Excellent, A great timeless classic about King Arthur and his knights of the round table.

a favorite story of mine, and the cover art and bindings are absolutely great. great addition to my personal library.

I’m assuming you’re familiar with the some of the stories surrounding King Arthur and his knights. This is, of course, only one version, but one of the later ones, and rightly considered among the best (although the older High Book of the Grail is perhaps more interesting).What’s remarkable about this book is for sixteen bucks you get an illustrated, well-bound volume that looks nice on the shelf and is a pleasure to hold in your hands. (I have no idea what the one reviewer was talking about concerning nudity in the illustrations. There just isn’t any.)Before Kindle, before trade paperbacks, people had the pleasure of books like this.This is not the version popular in Victorian times with the unsavory bits cut out, either. The Grail cycle is not an exemplar of sacramental marriage, for example. This is Christianity painted over an older culture and the chapel is never far from the Faerie. That complicated, dreamlike quality has fascinated people for centuries.Wonderful edition of a classic story of adventure, mystery, enchantment and strange tragic fates.

Well made .. good price

Beautiful edition with Beardsley’s illustrations. Arrived quickly and in great shape.

I bought this as a gift for someone who is fascinated by all things Arthurian, but I didn't want to give it away. It's gorgeous, and it seems to be a good translation. I love it. I did give it to the intended recipient, despite my selfish impulses, and they loved it, too.
