{"title":"Thomas Malory","description":"No one knows for sure who the author of Le Morte D'Arthur was, but the generally accepted theory is that of American scholar G.L. Kitteredge, who argued it was Sir Thomas Malory, born in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, and who spent the greatest part of his last twenty years in prison. Another possibility is a Thomas Malory of Studley and Hutton in Yorkshire, or an author living north of Warwickshire. It is generally accepted that the author was a member of the gentry and a Lancastrain.","products":[{"product_id":"le-morte-darthur-king-arthur-and-the-knights-of-the-round-table-leather","title":"Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table - Leather","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are collected in this illustrated volume.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral figures in medieval literature, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today.

Culminating in an account of Arthur's final battle against the scheming, deceitful Mordred, this is the definitive re-telling of the Arthurian myth, weaving a story of adultery, treachery and ultimately--in its tragic finale--death. Edited and published by William Caxton in 1485, Malory's moving prose romance looks back to an idealised Medieval age of chivalry, drawing on French and English verse sources to create an epic masterpiece of passion, enchantment, war and betrayal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
