This popular newspaper supplement thrived until 1966, but was at its peak in the 30s and 40s. It commissioned Dulac, as well as Flagg, Finlay, Vargas and others to create eye-catching covers and wonderfully illustrated stories. Here are some of the best, never before collected. A 24-page introduction looks at all the wonderfully illustrated King Arthur collections, with illustrations, from \u003cstrong\u003eHoward Pyle\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBeardsley\u003c\/strong\u003e, to \u003cstrong\u003eN.C. Wyeth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eH.J. Ford\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\n\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eSince Malory’s time many writers have used these legends and retold them in their own language. The English authors Tennyson, Swinburne, Matthew Arnold and William Morris have rendered several of the old stories in verse. And noteworthy too, are Wagner’s magnificent music dramas: Parsifal, which recounts the legend of the Holy Grail and Tristan and Isolda, perhaps the most famous love story of all times. Mr. John Erskine is now added to this company of distinguished interpreters, who retells them delightfully for readers of The American Weekly\u003cem\u003e.” \u003c\/em\u003eAttributed to Watson Crewes Jr., \u003cem\u003eThe American Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e, February 4, 1940.\n\nPublished in England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641361334558,"sku":"SEVTK","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/sevtk-seven-tales-from-king-arthurs-court-book.jpg?v=1784503442","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/seven-tales-from-king-arthurs-court","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
