Summary

Warwick, 1468. One drowsy summer afternoon, Sir Thomas Malory – politician, courtier, outlaw, renowned author of Le Morte D'Arthur – is seized from his garden and dragged to Newgate Prison for reasons unknown.

Shivering in his foul-smelling, filthy old cell, Malory mourns his misspent life as he awaits the execution bell. But when the locking bar lifts, he is greeted by a boy of about 12 winters: the gaoler's son. Giddy with relief, Malory seizes the opportunity to recount his deeds to an audience.

So begins a prison confession of a perilously exciting life full of sieges, battles and court intrigue. A Good Deliverance is the captivating tale of a man at odds with his past and the events that inspired him to write the first great work of prose fiction in English.

it's a great premise and is a humorous and well told story but it ends so abruptly and, I feel, unresolved. Then again, does a capricious King ever have just cause.....

Great story which kept my attention and kept me entertained. I won't do a spoiler so just get it and listen. Easy to listen to and relaxing. Narrator has pleasant English accent easy on the ear.

Very enjoyable story, with an entertaining and likable lead character and superb narrator.

I wasn’t sure at the start that I would enjoy the way it was told in the first person, but quickly adjusted and found this enjoyable after a short while.

Like many I found the end unsatisfactory, but that didn’t necessarily detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.

A good yarn!

A good story and very well read. It was very involving, and somehow you see it more vividly.
