Arthurian Legends

[Nurvingiel]

In the thread in the Entertainment Forum about the new Arthurian movie, talk naturally fell to great books about King Arthur.

Discuss all these great books here!

My favourite Arthurian book (and second favourite book of all time) is The Skystone, by Jack Whyte.

Here is a post I was going to put in the movie thread (but it has only to do with Arthurian books):

It has been a while, but I think Steinbeck get's right up to the part where Lancelot and Guinevere betray Arthur, and Lancelot leaves. This is about 3/4 through the book I think. As I recall, he then spends the last 1/4 of the book explaining why he didn't finish. That really pissed me off, because the book appeared complete, and he could have written the end.

Gerald Morris, a great children's author of Arthurian legends, also expanded on the three questing ladies tale. I forget which one it's in, but I think it's in "The Ballad of Sir Dinadan". Here's all his books.
1) The Squire's Tale
2) A Squire, His Knight, and His Lady
3) The Savage Damself and the Dwarf
4) Parsifal's Page
5) The Ballad of Sir Dinadan

I think that's in order.
