To the modern eye, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have many similarities to our own contemporary super-heroes. Equipped with magical powers, enchanted swords, super-strength, and countless villains to take on, they protect the weak and innocent and adhere to their own code of honor. Comparing Batman, Superman, and Captain America to Sir Launcelot, Sir Tristram, and Sir Galahad isn't a huge leap of the imagination.

Perhaps, for the 15th century reader, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were the equivalent of our modern day Justice League or Avengers. This audiobook gets to the heart of the narrative, telling the exciting legends of the supernatural, magic, dragons, beasts, battles, and chivalry contained in Sir Thomas Malory's epic in a contemporary and unaffected style. First published by William Caxton in 1485, this version is a faithfully unabridged narration of the complete Malory text (excluding the introduction). It includes the chapter numbers and descriptions used in the original manuscript.

Beautiful but dry, like a dead roses. It reads like a sports column. lot of repeating simple description with little sustenance. there also a lot of conflicting statements and it is hard to fallow, but I did make it to the end. I do plan on possible hearing it again.

I did find out some very interesting original fact. Like King Author sin, the Mat Day killing of every child born on that day. in fear of Mordred.
That there was more the 1 sword in a stone.
The lady in the Lake was a river maiden.
I think Camelot was mentioned as being Winchester Castle.


other then that I did almost weep at the fall of the round table and its 140-150 knight. Of Aurthor the king who tried to unite a waring land. Who held the adoration of other kings, lords, and nobility alike.
Of how the beginning of the end began with the coming of the holy grail, and finally how the fall of the round table came fram withing by Author's own son, knights, and the fally of mistrust.

a lesson that United we as people can do great things. our bickering and fighting are preventing our lifes from be noble and truly better.

always wanted to hear the original story
