The Legend of King Arthur

By: Nigel Forde

Narrated by: Keith Barron

Sir Thomas Malory wrote his epic poem La Morte d'Arthur in 1470 and Arthur came to embody the ideal of chivalry with the interwoven stories of the Round Table, the Holy Grail and the glory of Camelot. Of course part of his story is that he will return, and in this recording he is splendidly recreated in a fine reading by Keith Barron. The stories are adapted from Malory by the popular children's writer Nigel Forde. The Magic Swords; The Round Table & the New Knight; Beaumains; Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; The Poisoned Apple; The Breaking of the Fellowship; The End of it All.

Musical Interludes every few sentences

I regret this purchase, because every few sentences music will play for roughly 13 Seconds to a few minutes
The narrator's voice was good, but sometimes he sped up his speech very quickly when he was animated, and it made it hard to understand.
In terms of the stories, a lot was obviously left out because this is such a short work, but I would've liked to have had better Knowledge of the characters Including of Merlin & of Morgana
