Foreword by Neil Gaiman The worlds leading Arthurian authority
reimagines one of the most beloved and influential legendsthe story
of King Arthur and his Knightsfor a new century in this gorgeous
keepsake edition, illustrated with luminous full-color paintings
and drawings by internationally acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe.
The stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere,
Galahad, Gawain, Tristan and the rest of the Knights of the
Roundtable, and the search for the Holy Grail have been beloved for
centuries and are the inspiration of many modern fantasy novels,
films, and shows. These legends began when an obscure Celtic hero
named Arthur stepped on to the stage of history sometime in the
sixth century, generating a host of oral tales that would be
inscribed some 900 years later by Thomas Malory in his classic
Morte DArthur (The Death of Arthur). The Great Book of King Arthur
brings these legends into the modern age, using accessible prose
for contemporary readers for the first time. In addition to the
stories in Morte DArthur, John Matthews includes many tales of
Arthur and his knights either unknown to Malory or written in other
languages, such as the story of Avenable, the girl brought up as a
boy who becomes a famous knight, Morien, whose adventures are as
fantastic and exciting as any found in Malorys work, and a
retelling of the life of Round Table favorite Gawain, from his
strange birth to his upbringing among the poor to his ascension to
the highest positionEmperor of Rome. In addition, there are some of
the earliest tales of Arthur, deriving from the tradition of Celtic
storytelling.The epic hero is represented in such powerful stories
as The Adventures of Eagle-boy and The Coming of Merlin, which is
based on the early medieval text Vita Merlini and tells a
completely new version of the great enchanters story. The Great
Book of King Arthur includes 15 full-color paintings and 25 pencil
drawings.
