Ol School Library & Round Table

Hi Watkinbird,

I've just read your list of King Arthur books. I have a few more that I would recommend. I don't know whether you have read these or not:

Fantasy Novels

Black Horses for the King, by Anne McCaffrey

Arthur: The Seeing Stone, by Kevin Crossley-Holland
Arthur: At the Crossing-Places, by Kevin Crossley-Holland
Arthur: King of the Middle March, by Kevin Crossley-Holland

Reference

King Arthur's World, by Kevin Crossley-Holland (you may already have this listed under another name, I wasn't sure if it was the same book or not)

Original Sources

The Complete Romances of Chretien de Troyes, translated by David Staines

The Death of King Arthur, translated by James Cable (This is a Penguin Classics book and so very readable. Please note that it is [b]not[/b] related to Malory's tales, being a translation from the French of La Mort le Roi Artu, the last part of the Prose Lancelot.)

Gottfried Von Strassburg: Tristan, with the 'Tristan' of Thomas, translated by A. T. Hatto (also a Penguin Classic)

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, translated by Brian Stone (also a Penguin Classic)

All of these have added to my understanding of the Arthurian legends.

Cheers, Rosa
