*Excalibur* by Sanders Anne Laubenthal, Ballantine Books, 1973

Sanders Anne Laubenthal (December 25, 1943-May 15, 2002) was a American poet, novelist, historian and textbook writer. Much of her work concerns Mobile, Alabama, of which she was a native. She also wrote about the history of unrecorded areas of Scotland. She is best known, however, for one major work, the Arthurian fantasy Excalibur, first published in the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in August 1973 and reprinted a number of times since.

Laubenthal served the United States Army from the time of the Vietnam War, writing OJT books for army trainees in comic book style to train for lower level jobs such as dining hall cooks. Having reached the rank of Major in the Army, she retired, but continued to do research and write many reports/articles for the military. She had just finished her last military project and received payment for another reprint for Excalibur before she died from diabetic complications. Friends describe her as a quiet lady who was loyal and always creating.
