U. Waldo Cutler condenses Malory into a single readable narrative, keeping much of the old phrasing. It runs from Arthur’s birth and the sword in the stone through Excalibur, Balin and Balan, Tristram and the Fair Isoud, Launcelot and the quest for the Grail, with plates after Burne-Jones, Rossetti and Watts.
A popular school edition reprinted many times after 1905, and a gentle route into Malory before tackling the full Morte d’Arthur. Download the free EPUB.
