[Jason · Rating 2 out of 5]

A collection of the King Arthur/Camelot tales written from the point of view of a knight that lived much later and viewed Camelot as a golden age. Some of the stories are good, such as the story of Galahad, others not so well-written, such as the death of King Arthur. Oftentimes it causes head-scratching why the writer has such an idealistic feeling for characters he shows as adulterous, selfish, and not really as noble as he claims they are. Maybe that's the point, but it is presented in a sincerely admiring fashion. Not the best book for Arthurian legends.

Illegibile. Disordinato.

really good story, but reading it was a little hard since it's written the way people talked in the 13th century. which i really wouldn't mind if i could understand every word, but i cant. :(
