One of my favorite films from the early 1980s; an epic fantasy retelling of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. 💚

Enjoyed the audiobook.

I really enjoyed this. It's a highlight of my year. I read it in the morning for 20 to 40 minutes and relished it, reading only six or so pages at a sitting, for about 3 months.

I loved the humor, the language, the tone, the poetry of sound (and spelling), and the linguistic play. I‘m looking forward to Canterbury Tales.

Le Morte d'Arthur tells the story of King Arthur and his Knights at the Round Table. Arthur, who is son of King Uther Pendragon but was raised by another family, takes his rightful place as king when, as a boy, he is able to pull the sword called Excalibur from the stone.

Excellently researched and put together! Wellesley makes these fascinating treasures accessible for the modern reader. I enjoyed it, but it‘s not the sort of book where when I‘m done reading I feel inspired to go buy a copy for all my friends.

Thank you for the tag @dabbe 🥰

1. The wife of bath in the Canterbury tales. Shouting down the male pilgrims to tell a fairytale story about consent and free choice for women 🎉
2. Death in the sandman series. Rereading this right now and I love her so much, maybe my favourite literary Death
3. Got to be Jane eyre - a classic never to be beaten
