David, I've just discovered your channel and have been enjoying watching your videos this evening. I just subscribed as well. This video of your Arthurian collection couldn't have arrived at a more appropriate time as this has so far been an Arthurian Summer for me. I began by reading The Once and Future King, followed by The Book of Merlyn. And -- an endeavor I'm most proud of, having intended to read it ever since 1986 when a teacher recommended it to me -- just a few days ago I finished reading Le Morte d'Arthur for the first time. I say, "for the first time," because I intend to return to it again and again. Very much as I do regularly with Tolkien. I'm a reader who prefers Classic Literature, genuinely getting great enjoyment from these older works. So I tend to notice when someone else shares an interest. Thanks for the videos, and I'll be interested to hear about your progress in poetry.

Thank you! I’m so honoured you’ve enjoyed it! My congratulations to you sir. le Morte D’Arthur is no mean feat. I just finished a read through of that myself too. I looks forward to hearing more from you.

I like your "Malcolm Guite" style. Very unpolished, in a good way, and personal.

Who is the publisher for the Romance of Tristan and Iseult. I watched Malcolm Guite's video too and loved this book.

George G. Harrap & Company Limited is the publisher. He has all of these marvelous copies, some of the adventure of book hunting has been trying to piece together what copies he has and finding my own!

Absolutely! His unobtrusive, personal, and homely style is a foundational inspiration.
