Acclaimed biographer Peter Ackroyd vibrantly resurrects the legendary epic of Camelot in this modern adaptation

The names of Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad, the sword of Excalibur, and the court of Camelot are as recognizable as any from the world of myth. Although many versions exist of the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory endures as the most moving and richly inventive.

In this abridged retelling the inimitable Peter Ackroyd transforms Malory's fifteenth-century work into a dramatic modern story, vividly bringing to life a world of courage and chivalry, magic, and majesty. The golden age of Camelot, the perilous search for the Holy Grail, the love of Guinevere and Lancelot, and the treachery of Arthur's son Mordred are all rendered into contemporary prose with Ackroyd's characteristic charm and panache. Just as he did with his fresh new version of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, Ackroyd now brings one of the cornerstones of English literature to a whole new audience.

Comfortable and bright glow!
Color: Khaki, Color: Khaki
I've had this watch for about a year and never take it off. The glow feature is so bright it will light up a dark room and blind you if you just woke up 😆. But I love it. I trimmed the strap to just fit cause it was a little long.

Okay watch
Color: Black
The SKEMI logo was not there in the picture posted but when the actual watch arrived it was there. I specifically purchased one which was advertised without the logo. The plastic screen protector installed by default has couple of air bubbles trapped. It works fine. It's an okay back up watch. I'm looking at different ones.
