A modern retelling of the legendary Arthurian tales from
one of the twentieth century's greatest writers
Morte d'Arthur was one of the first books that John
Steinbeck enjoyed reading as a child, and it became a
favorite story to read to his own children. Here now is
Steinbeck's only work of fantasy literature-his
modernization of Malory's adventures of King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table, who together took the oath of
knightship, swearing never to use violence without good
purpose, to be merciful, to protect women, and never to
fight for an unjust cause or personal gain. Here are the
iconic and legendary tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Sir
Lancelot, Merlin, and Morgan le Fay. Christopher Paolini,
author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novels
Eragon and Eldest, has written a new foreword
offering a fresh and young perspective on this classic.
This is a book sure to capture the attention and
imagination of a wide audience, including the legions of
Steinbeck fans, those who love the legendary adventures of
King Arthur and his Knights, as well as the countless fans
of science fiction and fantasy literature, and everyone who
loves Paolini's bestselling novels.
