On my way to an #sca event in Southeast Sweden. A friend has already brought most of my luggage, so I am travelling semi light - after all I brought the heavy magic book again. #societyforcreativeanachronism #johnmatthews #caitlinmatthews #train

This is probably my favourite thrift shop find to date: Arthur of Albion by John Matthews and illustrated by Pavel Tatarnikov. It has been on my shelf for a couple of years now, but I finally picked it up in March for the Middle Earth Road Trip Readathon. The book contains a collection of short retellings of stories surrounding King Arthur and the knights of the round table, alternated with pages that present some facts about particular elements of the stories, such as mythological creatures, weapons and the creation of Camelot. While the book doesn't go very indepth, it definitely got me excited again about reading more Arthurian tales and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful!
