About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1976 Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Stated first printing. The first book John Steinbeck read as a child was the Caxton Morte d'Arthur, and he considered it one of the most challenging tasks of his career to modernize the stories of King Arthur. "These stories are alive even in those of us who have not read them. And, in our day, we are perhaps impatient with the words and the stately rhythms of Malory. I wanted to set the stories down in meaning as they were written, leaving out nothing and adding nothing." DJ has a few slight 1/4 inch edge tears, slight stains and cracking and normal shelf wear. now protected in brodart cover. DJ is price clipped..
