The Legends of King Arthur and his Knights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535403603)

The Publishers have asked me to authorise a new edition, in my own name, of this little book-now long out of print-which was written by me thirty-five years ago under the initials J.T.K. In acceding to their request I wish to say that the book as now published is merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to help to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory's version of them as printed by Caxton-with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources-and an endeavour to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story. The chief pleasure which came to me from it was, and is, that it began for me a long and intimate acquaintance with Lord Tennyson, to whom, by his permission, I Dedicated it before I was personally known to him.
