HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYNWRIC! :)

[_Kynwric_]

Aye, you likely have the right of it... still, I'd feel compelled to be more prepared and that takes time and effort.

[U4ea]

You can do it. :)

[_Kynwric_]

It isn't a matter of being able to do it...its a matter of WANTING to do it.

[U4ea]

Then don't.

[_Kynwric_]

Bleh... but now I'm already looking into doing the necessary research... *grumbles*

[U4ea]

Then stop grumbling and start having fun with it!

[_Kynwric_]

But..., but..., stop making so much sense!

[U4ea]

Why would I do that? 

[_Kynwric_]

*shrugs* I dunno... I need to find some time to read now...

[U4ea]

Yeah, me, too. B&N has Mallory's Le morte de Arthur for free...

[_Kynwric_]

Mallory's a hack...

[U4ea]

*laughs* he's a free hack...

[_Kynwric_]

True, you still need de Troyes... he should be free too though.

[U4ea]

Close. I did a quick check and Erec & Enid is free here.

 

I found two different Nook Books for the collection of four stories, one for 99 cents, the other for 95 cents. Neither of them have Perceval and the Grail, although they both have Lancelot, Knight of the Cart.  Perceval, apparently, isn't available in eBook format, unless you can translate French, which I totally cannot do (although Chevalier has a really pretty ring to it!). 

 

I found a $99 copy of the Conte de Graal Cycle that nearly makes me foam at the mouth which includes them all, of course. This is the version that Thomas Hinton edited and added notes for, along with the completed Perceval story. 

 

I have a few books from my previous school that I rescued from the trash (they were condemned because no one had checked them out. SAD!) that are really cool. One adds a bit of history to the stories in footnotes and sidebars. I geek out a lot while reading that one... *smiles*

Project Gutenberg. Both Four Arthurian Romances and Cliges is available... and perfectly free.
