I found a book at the library about the exact niche subject I think constantly about (Malory’s adaptation of the vulgate cycle grail quest) and no one else has checked it out since 2001… someone took really excited notes in it at some point of its history
God knows I have honored her and worshiped her more than all my kin, and more have I trusted her than my wife and all my kin after.
“Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England.”
I have a feeling that the editor is getting sick of Malory’s shit.

My hardcover of Le Morte d’Arthur arrived today – 3 days late, but it was all worth it. I audibly gasped when I opened the package, the front was just so beautiful I was already in love before I even looked at the rest of the book. It’s a gorgeous teal colour with beautiful golden designs & golden metalic page edges. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside, the illustrations are wonderful, as are the Book title pages. Also, it smells lovely! I am so, so in love with this book. I had the idea when I bought it that I’ll throw away my old Le Morte d’Arthur paperback with the ripped pages & writing (it’s a second hand book) & read/use this new one but it’s so beautiful I feel guilty just touching it. It’s so heavy too, I have to find it a pride of place on my book shelf but aah, how do I put it in a way that you can see the entire book, there’s not one thing I don’t love.
