The Forever King
"A terrific read.   I couldn't put it down."
Bill Brauker
King Arthur Books

Arthur is reincarnated as a ten-year-old Chicago boy.  He is aided by, Galahad, a drunk ex-FBI man Hal Woczniak.  Merlin returns to life, and helps on the quest to defeat an evil villain who has the Holy Grail. Most of the action occurs in a present-day England.  Not your average Arthurain adventure, but a fun read.


Dreamers of the Grail

The dream and myth of Camelot is timeless, and it speaks to each new generation all over again. This newcover telling,   focuses on the quest for the Grail, and the adventures leading up to that quest as shared by two of the younger heroes in Arthur’s realm.

The Once and Future King

Quartet of novels by T.H. White, published in a single volume in 1958. The quartet comprises The Sword in the Stone (1938), The Queen of Air and Darkness--first published as The Witch in the Wood (1939)--The Ill-Made Knight (1940), and The Candle in the Wind (published in the composite volume, 1958). The series is a retelling of the Arthurian legend, from Arthur's birth to the end of his reign, and is based largely on Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur. This novel about the court of King Arthur, was the basis for the play and movie "Camelot." After White's death, a conclusion to The Once and Future King was found among his papers; it was published in 1977 as
The Book of Merlyn.

Excalibur

       excalibercover (14180 bytes)

A first-rate historical novelist, Bernard Cornwell turns his interest to Camelot and weaves a terrific tale.  Set firmly in Britain's Dark Ages, The triligy goes far beyond the usual tales of romance and chivalry to forever change the way the legend of Arthur is told, introducing readers to an Arthur who is both utterly convincing and a true hero--a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.  This is a thoroughly enjoyable series.


Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy

The Merlin Trilogy is Mary Stewart's take on the Arthurian legend in three books: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, and The Last Enchantment. These books have Merlin, Arthur's wizard mentor, as their focal point, and the result is a charming, engrossing tale providing a unique perspective on a familiar tale. Her history is superb and richly detailed, her characterizations are masterful, and her plotting is perfect. You'll be entranced by this magical story.   After the triliogy, Mary Stewart added to her Arthurian saga with. The Wicked Day, a revised look at Mordred, which many have found fascinating.


The Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends

coghlan.gif (14603 bytes) Ronan Coghlan, an acknowledged authority on the Celtic tradition, has drawn together all the different strands of Arthurian myth from such various sources as Geoffrey of Monmouth, Malory, Chretian de Troyes, and the English Gawain cycles. He examines every character appearing in the myths in this comprehensive book on the Arthurian tales. Beautiful full-page illustrations and period maps. This book is a terrific addition to any Arthurian collection.


The World of King Arthur

world of kingarthur.jpg (3487 bytes)In this marvelously illustrated survey, Christopher Snyder examines the realities and the impact of the Arthurian legends on history and the arts. Following a discussion of the Celtic and Roman legacies in Europe, medieval texts and archaeological discoveries are used to piece together a picture of the fifth and sixth centuries, when Arthur was believed to have reigned as champion of the Britons.

Excalibur (1981)
This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England.   The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane
