"Sir Thomas Malory's Chronicles of King Arthur: 1) The Tale of King Arthur, 2) Sir Tristam De Lyonesse, 3) Le Morte D'Arthur" by Thomas Malory and lino-cuts by Edward Bawden - Folio Society, 1982 first thus UK edition - complete in 3 volumes - 18cmx15cm - condition: very good, in decorated binding, with all lino-cuts

Sir Thomas Malory was an English writer, the author of Le Morte d'Arthur, the classic English-language chronicle of the Arthurian legend, compiled and in most cases translated from French sources. The most popular version of Le Morte d'Arthur was published by the famed London printer William Caxton in 1485. Much of Malory's life history is obscure, but he identified himself as a "knight prisoner", apparently reflecting that he was either a criminal, a prisoner-of-war, or suffering some other type of confinement. Malory's identity has never been confirmed. Since modern scholars began researching his identity the most widely accepted candidate has been Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, who was imprisoned at various times for criminal acts and possibly also for political reasons during the Wars of the Roses. Recent work by Cecelia Lampp Linton, however, presents new evidence in support of Thomas Malory of Hutton Conyers, Yorkshire.[1]
