The Weathervane Books edition of The Romance of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table (Pollard abridgement, illustrated by Arthur Rackham) is a handsome mid‑20th‑century reissue of one of the most admired Rackham‑illustrated Arthurian volumes. It combines Alfred W. Pollard's elegant abridgement of Malory with Rackham's mature, atmospheric artwork. Pollard's abridgement (first published 1917) distils Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur into a clear, readable narrative while preserving the cadence and dignity of the fifteenth‑century prose. It is widely regarded as the definitive abridged version of Malory. The Weathervane Books reprint (1977-78) is a sturdy hardcover aimed at general readers and collectors who want Rackham's illustrations in an accessible modern binding. Ref A7 2.

Clarke, Limited, Edinburgh. 509 pages. Insured post. The Romance of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table hails from Malory's classic text, Morte D'Arthur; neatly told here by Alfred W. Pollard. Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory compiled mythical tales of the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights. First published in 1485 and now one of the best-known works of Arthurian literature; masterfully edited by Alfred Pollard (1859 - 1944). In his own words, he "tried to clear away some of the underwoods that the great trees may be better seen, and though I know that I have cleared away some small timber that is fine stuff in itself, if the great trees stand out the better, the experiment may be forgiven." This edition contains a series of dazzling color plates and b&w illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (from 1850 until the First World War), Rackham's artistry is simply unparalleled. Rackham developed a unique style, combining haunting humor with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further elucidate the wonderful ballads of yesteryear.
