Synopsis: This is a historical fiction-style biography of Sir Thomas Malory. Too little is known about his life to write a true biography, and this cannot be viewed as non-fiction, but it is an attempt to construct a potentially realistic account of his life. It includes known historical facts, but written through the lens of a novelist. The Library of Congress classifies it as "English Literature", but WorldCat lists it as "Biography". Juvenile
Publisher: To the facts already brought to light by Malory scholars, Margaret Hodges adds the fruits of her own literary detective work. In her "tale" of Malory, she filters these facts through her novelists's imagination as, with a keen sense of the dramatic, she links Malory's re-tellings of the Arthurian tales with his own life and times.
WorldCat: A biography of the 15th century knight who collected stories about King Arthur and his knights and rewrote them into a work that was to influence poets and writers throughout the ages.
