Thomas Malory

Sir Thomas Malory was the author of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, or Le Morte d’Arthur, the classic chronicle of the Arthurian legend, published by William Caxton in 1485. Though Malory’s identity has never been confirmed, the likeliest candidate is Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire.

Reviews for The Boy's King Arthur

[antiquary_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I told my parents I wanted the story of King Arthur with the wonderful illustrations, and this is what they got me. What I actually wanted was the Howard Pyle version which I bought for myself later., but the illustrations to this version are also excellent of their kind, blander than Pyle's but in full color.

This story of King Arthur was pared down for children, but it was still complicated and, frankly, boring, plus riddled with typos that could have easily been fixed with a good proofing.
