A review by annalisenak97
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights: From the Winchester Manuscripts of Thomas Malory and Other Sources by John Steinbeck

4.0

This is a delightful retelling of the King Arthur stories. It's by no means exhaustive-- Steinbeck never finished it. But the first half of the book reads like the old myths, while the second half of the book definitely feels more like a Steinbeck work. Both "sections" are wonderful! This is definitely a King Arthur retelling that I will cherish. Also, at the back of the book is an extensive appendix of Steinbeck's letters to his editors concerning this work and it's just marvelous to see how he thinks about the Arthurian legends and his writing process and WOW it's just fascinating. That was by far my favorite part.
