There have many written and filmed versions of this classic legend of Camelot and King Arthur.  It was begun from a long poem by Tennyson.  The best of the books being T.H. White’s, The Once and Future King.  But even such famous writers as Steinbeck with his King Arthur and the Round Table and Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King.
