(4 stars; 53 reviews)

Le Morte d'Arthur (spelled Le Morte Darthur in the first printing and also in some modern editions, Middle French for la mort d'Arthur, "the death of Arthur") is Sir Thomas Malory's compilation of some French and English Arthurian romances. The book contains some of Malory's own original material (the Gareth story) and retells the older stories in light of Malory's own views and interpretations. First published in 1485 by William Caxton, Le Morte d'Arthur is perhaps the best-known work of English-language Arthurian literature today. Many modern Arthurian writers have used Malory as their source, including T. H. White for his popular The Once and Future King. (Summary from Wikipedia) (15 hr 50 min)

Critiques

Awesome tales, most readers bad.


(3 stars)

I never complain about narrators, but whoa....some are unbearable. Still, some are great. Worth listening to, anyway.


(5 stars)

Uneven quality of recording. One reader keeps calling the eleven kings the "elven kings"

Authur & knight tales


(5 stars)

Interesting to hear them with out Hollywood interventions in the mix. Castle intrigues, ladies and damsels, quests and much smoting.

Worth it but...


(3 stars)

The narrator has a very pleasant voice, but lilts the end of every sentence.

Unfortunate


(1.5 stars)

I couldn't listen past the first half hour. The reader ends every sentence with an odd intonation, as if asking a question or singing. It makes it very hard to focus on the story.

too quiet


(2 stars)

With headphones, narrator drowned out by any ambient noise. Can't recommend


(2 stars)

Reader Chrystal: Re-record; it’s all distorted! Impossible to get through.

2008 recording
