A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here are the best-loved legends of the Round Table, recounted by one of the world's great storytellers. The tales provided a understanding of the adventures of King Arthur and his knights and also how King Arthur grew up and became king along with the background stories to the knights. Many fables revolve around such things as magic and many impossible tasks that cannot take place. These tales are supposed to represent the actual happenings of the King and his knights. Sir Lancelot du Lake, Sir Mordred, Merlin the Wizard, and Morgan la Fay and many other important characters that are all included in the stories to give the tales a richer cast of characters. I would recommend this book to anyone of any age because even as a bedtime story to little ones it is a great read to learn some history and to expand the mind. An added bonus is it's an easy read, no difficult vocabulary, and the plot is easy to follow.
