King Arthur & His Knights (Usborne Gift Book S.)Felicity Brooks
Gebundene Ausgabe
Although no one knows whether King Arthur and The Round Table of Camelot actually existed, legends of battling knights, courtly love, magic, quests and adventures have a timeless appeal and the legends of King Arthur remain highly popular. This wonderfully illustrated edition of these fast-moving tales follow Arthur's adventures from the day he pulls the sword out of the stone until his last battle. Each of the stories-most of which are based upon Sir Thomas Malory's < I> Le Morte d' Arthur-is told in a fresh and original way, bringing to life the wise wizard Merlin, the beautiful Guinevere, the gallant Sir Lancelot, the evil Morgan le Fay and all the other familiar characters from Camelot. < P> This edition, with dramatic colour illustrations to reflect the action and adventure and black-and- white illustrations reflecting the more romantic aspects of the stories, introduces readers to the excitement and drama of these timeless adventures. ( Ages 8 to 11)
