Arthur. Merlin. Lancelot. Morgan le Fay. Guinevere. Galahad. Camelot. The Round Table. The sword in the stone. The names and images strike a chord with anyone who has ever spent time reading about chivalry and knighthood. While the tales of Arthurian myth are not the only source of the rich tapestry of modern fantasy we enjoy today, it’s hard to imagine what fantasy would be like without these stories.
