Product Description:
Steinbeck’s only work of fantasy literature—in an illustrated deluxe edition

John Steinbeck’s retelling of Malory’s beloved Arthurian stories will capture the attention and imagination of legions of Steinbeck fans, including those who love Arthurian romances, as well as countless readers of science fiction and fantasy literature.
