Andrew Lang's King Arthur Scheduled Into 12 Readings

Andrew Lang's King Arthur, like Sir Roger Lancelyn Green's, appears to be taken from Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur, and, like Green's, is laid out like Malory's. Two schedules are offered here because Lang's appears to have been organized slightly differently from edition to edition. The first schedule is from Tales from King Arthur and the Round Table, posted at Project Gutenberg and available at Librivox. Following that is an alternate schedule for a Wordsworth Classics edition that has a few stories in a different order.
