For more than 500 years the adventures of King Arthur and his knights have been a source for British mythology, known after William Caxton's edition as the "motre d'Arthur". The aim of this edition is to make a version of the tales which can be read by a contemporary reader purely for pleasure with no sense of duty or effort. The editor also writes plays, poetry and has written "Greece and its Myths, "Portrait of North Wales", "Portrait of South Wales" and "Myths of Britain".
