King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is an adaptation of Howard Pyle's classic rendition of the King Arthur legends. Though it lacks the artful prose and wonderful illustrations of Howard Pyle, readers young and old will enjoy reading this magical tale of courage, romance, and adventure. Unlike some King Arthur stories for children which contain several loosely related stories, this book possesses a great deal of continuity. We learn about how Merlin advises Arthur, the story of the romance between Guinevere and Arthur, the origins of the Round Table, the fate of Merlin, and the end of Camelot. Sir Launcelot and Sir Gawaine make their appearance as well. The quest for the Holy Grail is not mentioned in this version. The editors of the Great Illustrated Classics series have done an excellent job with this classic story based on the Arthurian legends. Highly recommended.
