A man is a fool to live in hopes of a better tomorrow. I have a thousand, better ways today to spend what time remains ahead of me, and I have brighter, lighter and more pleasant places in which to spend it.

Maybe an odd question...but do you know of any Australian or Canadian Arthuriana. I'm guessing the stories would have been popular in the 19th/early 20th century like elsewhere. Did they have any Howard Pyle types you've heard of?

Hey there! I sure do.

There's an old animated series from the 60s made in Australia called Arthur! And The Square Knights of the Round Table.

As for works from Canadian authors, the series Camulod Chronicles by Jack Whyte, and The Winter Knight by Jes Battis, which follows a reincarnation of Gawain living in Vancouver, Canada.

I haven't read Whyte's series, so I know nothing about it. I didn't love Battis's Canadian "Wayne" very much, but it's definitely an option for anyone seeking a queer retelling written in recent years! That's all I got for you, nothing older than this that I know of, but it's something. Take care!

Jack Whyte followed me on twitter and I'm over here sitting with most of the Camulod Chronicles unread like 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 should I start reading or not? 😂

OH BOY 

I AM SCREAMING

Those BOOKS WERE SO BAD (in my opinion)

I read Whyte’s books a long time ago, I think I was 15. While I usually say that Bernard Cornwell was my first arthurian series of books, I am lying, it was actually Jack Whyte.

But I hated it. It was pre-Arthur, so mostly dealing with Uther and Merlin, and maybe because I read it so long ago (15 years ago) I only remember the bad parts of it: the sexism, rape, wars, women suffering more because of war. 

I am SURE there are amazing scenes and writing in it, I just do not remember. I also only read the first 3 books, I think, I am not sure because the Italian version of it was different.

The Return of Arthur in 2021

Growing up, stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were among my favourite things. I remember sitting just inside my bedroom door at night in Grade 3, illuminated by the hall light, reading, reading these stories. In junior high, I read T H White’s The Once and Future King, and my family was involved in the local music and drama society’s production of Camelot a few years…
