{"product_id":"9780143106951","title":"The Death of King Arthur","description":"\u003cb\u003e Acclaimed biographer Peter Ackroyd vibrantly resurrects the  legendary epic of Camelot in this modern adaptation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe names of Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad, the  sword of Excalibur, and the court of Camelot are as recognizable as any  from the world of myth. Although many versions exist of the stories of  King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, \u003ci\u003eLe Morte  d'Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e by Sir Thomas Malory endures as the most moving and richly  inventive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this abridged retelling the inimitable Peter Ackroyd  transforms Malory's fifteenth-century work into a dramatic modern  story, vividly bringing to life a world of courage and chivalry, magic,  and majesty. The golden age of Camelot, the perilous search for the  Holy Grail, the love of Guinevere and Lancelot, and the treachery of  Arthur's son Mordred are all rendered into contemporary prose with  Ackroyd's characteristic charm and panache. Just as he did with his  fresh new version of Chaucer's \u003ci\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, Ackroyd now brings  one of the cornerstones of English literature to a whole new audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
