King Arthur and His Knights

by Thomas Malory, Elizabeth Lodor Merchant (Editor), Edward F. Cortese (Illustrator)

Sir James Knowle's epic tale of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Tale is resurrected in this ornate children's edition. Intricate black-and-white drawings of knights, damsels in distress, and wizards add to the mystery and folklore of Sir Arthur. Perfectly suited as both a "read aloud" book or for more advanced readers to conquer themselves, children of all ages will be whisked back in time with this classic tale.

Glad I read this, because of it being a classic, but whoa, just one battle after another!

I've always loved these stories and wanted to re read them. This is a Y/A level read and maybe not the best version I could have chosen but fun to read anyway.
