King Arthur: Tales from the Round Table by Andrew Lang

4.0

THIS was the King Arthur book I was looking for. This includes all the famous stories: the search for the Holy Grail, Lancelot and Guinevere, Merlin and Nimue, etc. It's all delightfully Medieval, chivalrous and rather bonkers (but it is, after all, Medieval mythology, so it's an alien world to our modern way of thinking: it should be somewhat baffling). The chivalry seems quaint and foreign, as well it should, but it also seems believable and authentic. Parts of the whole thing haven't aged well and don't make much sense to me, but for the most part I quite enjoyed it and was pleased to read it.
