Looking for those facts and differences is great Goldberry. Excalibur (or Caledvwlch [sp?] ) is a great example. It's always there, but in different forms sometimes. Same with the Lady of the Lake (who isn't always included in the legend).

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the oldest Arthurian legend known, and it's my personal favourite. Tolkien himself did a translation, and I want to read it. I'm sure Mallory did one as part of his tale (I haven't actually read his works yet ). Gerald Morrison's "A Squire's Tale" is an excellent version - a children's book, but highly enjoyable. It's also written in "Tales of Action and Adventure" by Enid (I think) Blythe. I'm sure there are many others. I never get tired of them, I want to read them all!
