| Le Mort D'Arthur Vol I |
| Thomas Malory (1399 - 1471) |
Le Morte d'Arthur is a classic tale of loyalty, love, and death. Malory assembles some French and English Arthurian romances, along with some additions of his own.

First printed in 1485 it is likely it will be as well known and loved in another 500 years. |
