The Story of King Arthur and His Knights by Howard Pyle
When the young age Arthur pulls from the anvil an embedded sword that none of the knights of the kingdom can budge, his future as the King of England is foretold. This imaginative retelling of the classic Arthurian legends recounts the story of Arthur's formation of the Knights of the Round Table, his securing of the enchanted sword Excalibur, and his wooing of the Lady Guinevere. Included as well are the legends of Sir Pelleas, the story of Sir Gawaine's pursuit of the White Hart, and tales of Merlin the magician, Morgana Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and many others. One of the best-loved classics of children's literature, The Story of King Arthur and His Knights is magnificently illuminated in full color with the artwork of Howard Pyle that brings the pomp and pageantry of Camelot magically to life. This exquisite full-color edition features an elegant bonded-leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, and distinctive gilt edging. Decorative, durable, and collectible, it's a book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.
