Enhanced with Aubrey Beardsley’s intricate illustrations, this volume offers a rich, authentic dive into medieval mythology and chivalric tales. With premium materials and timeless storytelling, it’s a must-have collector’s piece for any discerning home library. ## Description All the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are collected in this illustrated volume. Central figures in medieval literature, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today. Drawing on the legends of Camelot from French and English sources, Sir Thomas Malory compiled the drama of illicit love, the magic of sorcery, and the quest for the Holy Grail into a sordid and chivalrous tale that’s been recounted for centuries. This beautiful leather-bound volume, which includes intricate line illustrations by renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley, will be a treasured edition of classic Arthurian folklore in any home library. Review: A joy to own - This Leather-bound book is beautifully presented. With quality red Leather and Gold Gilded pages and a ribbon place marker. Weird maybe but it smells amazing (love the smell of Leather.) The paper is quality too, slightly yellow but thick stock. A volume that is built to last and will compliment any library. That said I've hundreds of books but this is only my second Leather-bound book and I'm very impressed. This book was written a century before Shakespeare and personally I love the prose. If you've ever read a King James Version of the Bible you'll easily get to grips with the style of writing. If not, don't worry you'll soon find the rhythm of it and it's easy to understand. The introduction is thorough and harder to understand in my opinion than the book itself! Get ready to experience some Great British aventures Mythology with King Arthur and his Knights Of The Round Table. The illustration work in this edition is outstanding. Highly recommended Review: Fascinating book - The Arthurian legend is a very fascinating part of mythology. We don't actually know how much of it is actually myth and if any of it is real. It's some true old fashioned story telling and this version was an interesting way to go about reading it. The experience was one of the most unique reading experiences I've had reading a book. This version that I bought was the Knickerbocker Classics edition. A beautiful looking book with a gorgeous outer hard case, some lovely illustrations and other features. The text is that of William Caxton, which was first published in 1485. The original material was written Thomas Malory, supposedly when he was in jail. I no doubt could have found a more modern edition, with more up to date spelling, grammar etc. But I didn't want that and was looking for a more authentic take. That is something I definitely got out of this book and to describe my opinions on it is quite difficult. What I mean by that is that well, I didn't find the book difficult to understand. Even if it reads like a drunken loon lying in the street corner re-telling a story to any passer by who'd listen. There were a lot of terms, phrases etc that I found alien to me. But it was easy to understand them after a quick definition search and the the context in which they were used through out the book. It was the way it was laid out that got me. The chapters (books or whatever they're called) are organised into large walls of text. What is in these walls of text is easy to understand but my eyes struggled to focus on such a mass of words. There are no paragraphs or structure to the text and it's all clumped together into one big mess. It's this that I found was truly hard to focus on. At times it gave me eye strain making it hard to follow my progress and which line I was on. That is the part I felt was over whelming. I had to take a break over the winter whilst I was in the middle of the book. Eye strain is one thing (an excuse to have a nice cup of tea) and I can easily take my time with it, but I found it even more difficult to keep track of my progress when distracted by sniffles, coughs, headaches etc. The story itself, I thought it was utterly fantastic. The characters were all very well detailed and there were so many. I loved the fact that they developed slowly over time and the more you read the book, the more personal it became with the likes of Tristram and Lancelot etc. It also made it more tragic when the stories came to a close and we learn the fates of our gallant knights. Despite the strange way it was written, there's a lot of information to take in and it painted a wonderful picture in my mind. One that I really can't see me forgetting. I could mention some of the tales that I enjoyed the most, but there are so many. It's hard to recommend this book to people. The story itself is fantastic and I don't think it's hard to understand (as mentioned above). But the way it is laid out might be a bit intimidating and I can fully understand it. But why I'd recommend, it's simply because this is one of the most important stories of our land. Things like this need to be taught in school, in my opinion. It needs to be read by people to understand cultural references going back hundreds of years. It's very important to our part of the world and needs to be treated as such. I would definitely recommend reading it one "book" or chapter at a time, or whatever stops you feeling over whelmed like I did. But I also recommend making the effort in general. It's a piece of history, a piece of culture and one that should be in all our collections. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 26,907 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 516 in Fairy Tales (Books) 665 in Myths & Fairy Tales 1,145 in Romantic Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,408 Reviews | ## Images ![Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Leather-bound Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KqLI7MQKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A joy to own *by M***N on 22 March 2026* This Leather-bound book is beautifully presented.

I have a few of them now. They feel and look much more expensive than they are. I read on my kindle but want a good looking bookshelf too however these books are well made and not just for display. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/806636011-le-morte-darthur-king-arthur-and-the-knights-of-round](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/806636011-le-morte-darthur-king-arthur-and-the-knights-of-round) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
