In this enchanting version of the story of King Arthur, the renowned American illustrator and storyteller Howard Pyle displays his unique talent for capturing and stimulating the imagination of the young. Inventively retold and vividly illustrated, these stories describe the perilous and thrilling adventures of King Arthur and his knights in that glorious age of chivalry and honour. After showing how Arthur established his right to the throne by drawing the sword from the anvil, the author then relates the story of Arthur's battle with the Sable Knight and his securing the sword Excalibur. He tells of Arthur's confrontations with the Duke of North Umber and Sir Pellias, describes King Arthur's wooing and wedding the Lady Guinevere, and tells of the establishment of the Round Table. Tales are told, too, of Arthur's knights, including Sir Pellias or the Gentle Knight and of course, Sir Gawaine.

I go back 65 years for a vivid recollection of what was my FAVORITE book as a youth. Howard Pyle's translation of the Arthur legend is one of the best, but this book very disappointingly omits stories about too many of the knights that formed the backbone of the complete version, including the tales of Sir Tristram (the only knight Sir Lancelot could never vanquish), Sir Beaumains "of the Kitchen" whom Sir Kay had befriended, brothers Sir Gareth and Sir Gaheris, and the story of Sir Galahad, etc. (I could go on, but why bother?). Many of them can be found in "King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table", as edited by Sidney Lanier, whose rendition is just as enjoyable and a more satisfying read.
