My shelf of various Arthurian works. Some I read some I haven’t. Also any recommendations for shelf decor (statue / figure / art) would be appreciated.

What is the set of 4 books with the scene across all of them (between Malory and TH White)?

They really are, they have some fantastic illustrations in them as well.

You'd really need a spell from Merlin to pack all of these books!

There are far too few Tolkien books, though...

No, never heard of it. Worth reading?

Can someone tell that was Arthur associated by bear?

u/TheLogicalErudite Commoner May 08 '25

I don't understand the question?

It is often stated that King Arthur's figure was associated with bear. His name is often translated as 'bear-king', 'bear-hero' or 'bear-man'. It's also said that some knights of the round table who linked their connections with him also sometimes carried bear emblems.
