This unfinished collection of Arthurian legends didn't always grip me, but I have to admit I found myself intrigued at many points, in a way that I haven't experienced with the several other versions of these stories I've come across. The letters in the appendix, in which Steinbeck discusses his research and writing process for the project, were lengthy but interesting. Above all, I was impressed by how much Steinbeck, an accomplished writer, struggled with his work. As much as he obviously loved this project, it didn't come together easily, coalescing effortlessly out of thin air.

As much as he obviously loved this project, it didn't come together easily, coalescing effortlessly out of thin air. Steinbeck resucita bellamente al cautivante mundo del rey Arturo y sus nobles caballeros de la Tabla Redonda, que incluye al mago Merlín y los amores entre la bella Ginebra y Lanzarote del Lago con todo su irrepetible esplendor medieval. El centenario de Steinbeck dejó una estela de reediciones que han reavivado el interés por su obra, y "Los hechos del Rey Arturo y sus nobles caballeros", publicada póstumamente, es una de las novelas más singulares de Steinbeck, a la que se añade en esta edición un conjunto de cartas en las que el autor se refirió al proceso de creación de esta obra que permaneció inédita hasta varios años después de su muerte.
The book must be evaluated more as Steinbeckiana than as Arthuriana, not so much for its narrative foibles as because the project remained so fragmentary--including neither the Grail quest, the book of Launcelot and Guinevere, nor the Morte Arthur. A complete Arthurian cycle from Steinbeck would have been good to have. The present version remains an erratically charming curiosity. "Steinbeck's tales could bring readers of all ages close to Arthurian times." "Enchantment...witchcraft...Steinbeck diligently pursues the task of bringing to life a new look at Arthur and the Round Table Knights." "A wonderful accomplishment." "A grand recreation of Malory's meaning given added strength by having filtered through the mind of Steinbeck, who understood so much."
