The Romance of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table
Abridged from Malory’s “Morte d'Arthur”
With illustrations and decorations in color and in black and white by Arthur Rackham.
Probably never before has a large and elaborate Arthur Rackham book been published in the first instance at the price at which this one is offered. Its publication, then, will serve to introduce the artist to a much wider circle of people, many of whom doubtless have long heard of Rackham’s work—admired it, too, perhaps—but have been unable themselves to own one of his more pretentious volumes because of the price which they commanded. “The Romance of King Arthur” shows Rackham at his best. The numerous plates in color, the black and white decorations, headings and drawings, combined with the excellent paper and printing, make a very beautiful volume which will be a valuable edition to any library. It has been edited by Mr. Pollard of the British Museum Library, whose scholarship and literary appreciation are reflected throughout.
