What are your thoughts on Howard Pyle's "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table", T.H. White's "The Once and Future King", and "Here Lies Arthur" by Philip Reeve?

I did not get a chance to read any of those, so I'm not sure about them.

Also. The Once and Future king (great generational retelling) and even though it isn’t Arthurian The Song Of Roland is very much a part of the Mythos.

Lovely! Thank you for sharing! Some of these I knew of and others I didn’t (I’ll have to add them to my Arthurian hoard.) I have, incidentally, posted a retelling of Lohengrin just yesterday on my Substack page. It’s wonderful to find fellow lovers of Arthurian lore. 🥰♥️

That Hideous Strength ... nice add. Any more thoughts on the Monmouth entry? It's sitting on my stack of books, but I haven't cracked it open yet.

Haven’t gotten to Monmouth yet but plan to.

Great list! I have been spending this year with a lot of Arthurian legend after rekindling the spark by reading the once and future king last year. I have read a lot of the work but the less common ones of the medieval period are documented well. I will have a look at them this autumn.

I have read most of these but have never heard of the Flowering Hawthorn

You need to check it out. It's quite delightful.

Great list. Apparently I wasn't the only one thinking about King Arthur -
