Description
Chivalry (1909) is a fascinating collection of tales that draw inspiration from the popular chronicles of medieval Europe.

Malory wrote the book while in Newgate Prison during the last three years of his life; it was published some fourteen years later, in 1485, by William Caxton. The tales, steeped in the magic of Merlin,...
