Synopsis The first book that John Steinbeck read as a child was Le Morte d'Arthur. As an adult, he modernized the stories of King Arthur magnificently, bringing the tales to life for readers young and old. As John Gardner wrote, "[Steinbeck] embellishes Malory's spare legend with a richness of detail that transforms the vision, makes it no one but Steinbeck's." Michael Rogers - Library Journal Steinbeck credited Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthurwith his love of books. He hated reading as a kid until finding the old tales of Arthur and the Round Table, which put the hook in him at age nine. Toward the end of his life, Steinbeck began his own collection of Arthurian legends. It wasn't published until 1976-well after his 1968 death-and was the last book on which he worked. This illustrated edition carries a new foreword by top fantasy writer Christopher Paolini and a lengthy appendix. Biography Chronicling American dreams destroyed by either injustice or the simple difficulty of the world, John Steinbeck left lasting testaments to the struggles of working people in The Grapes of Wrath and Cannery Row. His refusal to water down his realistic work got some of his books banned and earned him a Nobel Prize.
