"Merely, a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgement of Sir Thomas Malory's version ... with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth - and an endeavor to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story." --Pref First published in 1862 under the initials "J. T. K."
Summary:
