What a great thread. Thanks for making it. Arthuriana is a huge tradition and it's impressive you managed to provide a relatively comprehensive introduction! I recently read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (having been familiar with the story, of course) and yes, it's really good. Coincidentally I also read Marie de France's "Lanval" which isn't that great; it's nicely told and constructed, but it's not much more than an anecdote and the characters are flat. The translation by Alfred David is appalling, though. Also Roger Lancelyn Green's childrens' book is great for kids, and just one of a series dealing with various mythologies - there's also Greek and Egyptian ones, off the top of my head.
