Title
The Book of Arthur: Lost Tales from the Round Table by John Matthews-Hardcover – 2003
In this volume, leading Arthurian scholar and storyteller John Matthews has gathered a rich collection of "forgotten" Celtic and medieval tales and retells them as thrilling new stories in fresh, readable prose. Tracing the richness, color, and vibrancy of the Arthurian traditions, this illustrated anthology reaches back before the familiar tales of chivalry and romance to unearth surprisingly savage tales. Funny, dark, and revelatory--depicting Arthur as a wild warrior who leads a ragtag band of heroes into battle against the Saxons and in a timeless struggle against the forces of the Otherworld--these little-known stories will delight any Arthur aficionado.
The tales of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are universally known and loved. Countless retellings exist, based for the most part on Sir Thomas Malory's great work, Le Morte d'Arthur. Yet Malory drew on only a fraction of the vast cycles of stories that circulated throughout the Middle Ages. Many of them are as every bit as exciting as those we know so well but have been almost completely overlooked, remaining lost in dusty tomes of 19th- and early 20th-century scholarship.
