The Fall of Arthur book by J.R.R. Tolkien  "The Fall of Arthur" [2013] by J.R.R. Tolkien, Edited by Christopher Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien [1892–1973] halted work on this narrative poem in 1934 or 1937, and in 1955 stated his intention to complete it, but never did. Son Christopher has gathered the best version of the main text, and chapters, fragments, and notes from Tolkien's papers. Tolkien's choices from among Arthurian lore include Arthur’s expedition overseas into distant heathen lands, Guinevere’s flight from Camelot, the great sea-battle on Arthur’s return to Britain, a portrait of the traitor Mordred, the tormented doubts of Lancelot in his French castle, and the {unwritten} bitter ending of the love of Lancelot and Guinevere.
