Another fascinating read would be T. H. White's Once and Future King (the title is taken from the epitaph which Mallory ascribes to Arthur--hic iacet Arturus, Rex quondam, Rexque futurus, "Here lies Arthur, Once and Future King). This is one of the most productive story cycles in European history. Mallory frequently refers to "the Frensshe Booke," and uses such expressions, "the Frensshe Booke sayeth"--the French having used the song/story cycle for centuries when Mallory wrote his Death of Arthur. John Steinbeck was writing his version of the Arthurian cycle at the time of his death--the unfinished work has been published, however. T. H. White's papers also included a manuscript which could have served as a sequel to The Once and Future King, which was published, i believe in 1977, as The Book of Merlin.

If you could not find this on amazon, there is a good chance it's because you're misspelling the authors name and the title.

Sir Thomas Malory
Le Morte D'Arthur

No, there is not a good chance I am misspelling the name
It is Mallory and it is "Artur"

Eos is correct.

It is Malory and it is "Arthur".

She gave you the links and all.

I'd go with "The once and future king."

Both Morte D' Arthur and the once and future king are books about Arthur.

Arthur was a work of fiction, and you'll find the stories in the book to be completely different from the movie. I think you'll find that they still are worth reading, especially The once and future king (E.B. White) which is an easier (in our present-day language) read.

Should be at the local bookstore.


You didn't really believe the movie was historically accurate, did you? With Gwenevere fighting?

King Arthur the movie was supposed to be a realistic episode from what it was like then that could have spawned the Arthur stories. Except for the part about "Sarmatia", it was probably more historically accurate than the story, since the story was a Myth and is neccessarily INaccurate.... the whole knights in shining armor and courtly love deal actually came about because of the telling of French versions of the King Arthur stories, not the other way around. I think what they were trying to do in th movie was the steer away from the French/romance versions that everyone knows so well. I think they succeeded in that, at least....

Try this:

You dont have a clue what you are talking about
it is Mallory and it is artur - OK - now leave it out! (or learn to spell)

Lol! DON'T get the book then! People have all but given you a copy - including a free online version!

Sheesh.

Settle down. Take it up with the goddam publishers and Amazon........

here's an odd thing.

I received a package from Amazon today - in ordinary Amazon US packaging - except it was inside a yellow sack thing - from GERMANY!!!!

I am wondering if the US mail sent the thing to Austria, and it was picked up when it hit Germany, re-packed, and sent to Oz????

Sounds plausible . . .
Sounds like that is exactly what happened, dlowan . . . Australia was misread for Austria. Postal workers work very hard - I was one of them for a year of my life. However, the service has deteriorated in the past few years. As with most industries today, they have one goal: the bottom line - money. "Get it out, get out, get it out!" Mistakes and all. [/color]

Well then - my books have been where I have not!

But - I DO wonder why the sack?

I had a package from Lunnon, once, Dear Miss Wabbit, and it came in a sack. It had taken less than 48 hours to clear customs in Angle-land and arrive in New York . . . and nine days to travel a few hundred miles from New York.

Anyhoo, the outside of the package had gotten torn, so the Royal Mails bagged it up. Could this explain why your packaged got bagged?

OK OK - here's a goodie. Some scenery for "Ring of the Niebelung" was manufactured and then sent off to Beiruth, near Nuremberg, the correct place for such events. Didn't show up at Beiruth. Don't recall what they had to do to get the show on.



However, at the same time there were a lot of Lebanese postal workers in BEIRUT wondering what the hell to do with a giant blow-up dragon and Seigfried's cave!

Lol!!!!!!!!!!

people have all but given me the book - haha - you obviously havent been paying attention mate
