{"product_id":"the-death-of-king-arthur-the-immortal-legend","title":"The Death of King Arthur: The Immortal Legend","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed biographer Peter Ackroyd vibrantly resurrects the legendary epic of Camelot in this modern adaptation. The names of Arthur  Merlin  Lancelot  Guinevere  Galahad  the sword of Excalibur  and the court of Camelot are as recognizable as any from the world of myth. Although many versions exist of the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table  Le Morte dArthur by Sir Thomas Malory endures as the most moving and richly inventive. In this abridged retelling the inimitable Peter Ackroyd transforms Malorys fifteenth-century work into a dramatic modern story  vividly bringing to life a world of courage and chivalry  magic  and majesty. The golden age of Camelot  the perilous search for the Holy Grail  the love of Guinevere and Lancelot  and the treachery of Arthurs son Mordred are all rendered into contemporary prose with Ackroyds characteristic charm and panache. Just as he did with his fresh new version of Chaucers The Canterbury Tales  Ackroyd now brings one of the cornerstones of English literature to a whole new audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963066708021,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670023078","price":35.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670023073.jpg?v=1770405720","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-death-of-king-arthur-the-immortal-legend","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
