This is almost like reading two different books. I was convinced I was going to give this book a 2-star rating based on the first half. It starts with a collection of legends about an Irish hero named Cuchulain. Many of the legends have tons of internal references, and the text quite often tells you to (see...

This review is of the 1986, red-covered version of THE ARTHURIAN ENCYCLOPEDIA, chief editor Norris Lacy. It's a big book, 649 pages, and appears to be substantially the same volume as the yellow-jacketed edition pictured above. It's worth understanding that the general field of "Arthuriana" embraces...

Often plundered and even plagiarised – frequently online and most notably in print by Mike Dixon-Kennedy in his Arthurian Myth and Legend: an A-Z of People and Places (1996) – this was the first really accessible dictionary of Arthurian personages, locales and other miscellanea. While not an...

This book I got many years ago from Quarwood of all places. It's one of the books I own from John Entwistle's personal library, and it is an exceptionally beautiful book. It is worth five stars for the pictures alone, but the accompanying text makes it all even better.
The book is a broad survey...

I'll admit, at first I was confused. When I think of King Arthur, I imagine a young, handsome boy pulling a sword from a stone. I imagine battles with dragons and mythical creatures. I imagine a hundred brave knights at a round table, dutifully serving Arthur, their righteous king.
Yet in the...
A stand alone book in the brilliant Enchanted World Series, THE FALL OF CAMELOT is written in a somber but engaging, highly readable tone, and beautifully illustrated. A concise, single volume retelling of the King Arthur saga, the book does a good job of remaining focused on the principals conflicts...

The story of Lancelot is one of striving for perfection in the company of men only to fall short due to the sins of the flesh...but in Lancelot Du Lethe the most famous of the Knights of the Round Table is only partially of the mortal realm. He and Guinevere share a mystical bond of which Arthur can not be a part...

First published in 1880, The Boy's King Arthur was edited by the American poet Sidney Lanier from Sir Thomas Malory's history of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Lanier said of the Malory work, "I suspect there are few books in our language which lead a reader - whether young or old - on from...

*Rant coming up ahead*
Ever heard of Jason and the Argonauts? No? WHY. Basically, they were what people used to fangirl about centuries ago, instead of Kaz Brekker and the Dregs.
Summary
So this boy Jason shows up one day in his hometown and walks straight up to his evil uncle...

We are all familiar with the heroic deeds and enchantments of the legendary tales surrounding King Arthur. But what evidence is there for a real figure beneath the myth and romance?

My review for all of these books in this series is the same.
Time-Life has once again done an outstanding job putting together a series. From cover to cover they are thoughtful, beautiful books. I'm starting to sound generic, but it's true.
I'm a DK fan, I like white backgrounds and side notes...

Maude Radford Warren's King Arthur and His Knights is actually very similar to The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by James Knowles (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...). Being that both books are retellings of the Arthurian Saga, that much is to be expected, of course, but if you choose...

I came across Arthur Rex twenty seven years ago, in my high school library. That day I discovered two things: the joy of browsing stacks and finding random gems, and the joy of reading Thomas Berger.
Arthur Rex was like no other book I’d ever read, (nor was it like any other Berger wrote, I’d...
