‎NY Farrar Straus & Giroux 1976 first edition wrappers. Softcover. <br/><br/> Advance copy an uncorrected proof edited by Chase Horton these tales are Steinbeck's attempt to render Malory "into modern English" the importance to Steinbeck and his literature of the Morte d'Arthur cannot be over-stated as he writes in his introduction "I think my sense of right and wrong.and any thought I may have had against the oppressor and for the oppressed came from this book" this copy is especially important because it was one of two copies sent to novelist John Gardner author of such novels as Grendel and The Resurrection Gardner also wrote The Complete Works of the Gawain Poet The Alliterative Morte Arthure and other "olde English" books this copy was sent to Gardner by the New York Times in order to write a review which the Times published laid in loosely is the slip from the Times asking for an 800-word review this was originally obtained from Susan Thornton who was Gardner's fiance at the time of his death according to Morrow 284 there are a number of textual differences between this proof copy and the published version.

I stared at the black print with hatred and then gradually the pages opened and let me in. The magic happened.I think my sense of right and wrong my feelings of noblesse oblige and any thought I may have against the oppressor and for the oppressed came from this secret book".

‎Ballantine Books New York: 1977. Softcover. reading copy. For a long time" John Steinbeck writes in his introduction "I have wanted to bring to present-day usage the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. These stories are alive even in those of who have not read them. And in our day we are perhaps impatient with the old words and the stately rhythms of Malory. . . . I wanted to set them down in plain present-day speech for my own young sons and for other sons not so young - to set the stories down in meaning as they were written leaving out nothing and adding nothing - perhaps to compete with the moving pictures the comic-strip travesties which are the only available sourcee for those children and others of today who are impatient with the difficulties of Malory's spelling and use of archaic words. If I can do this and keep the wonder and the magic I shall be pleased and gratified. ISBN: 0345273893. Ballantine Books, New York: 1977 paperback‎
