A retelling of the Arthurian legends by one of America's great storytellers and artists. In King Arthur and His Knights, Howard Pyle brings the world of Camelot to life with noble quests, enchanted adventures, fierce battles, and the timeless ideals of courage, loyalty, honor, and chivalry. Written with the grandeur and clarity that made Pyle one of the defining authors of classic juvenile literature, this volume introduces readers to King Arthur, Merlin, the Knights of the Round Table, and the heroic age of medieval romance.
Pyle's version of the Arthurian cycle is especially valued for the way it combines literary beauty with accessibility. The stories retain the dignity and wonder of the old legends while presenting them in a form that generations of younger readers could understand and enjoy. From Arthur's rise to kingship and the founding of the Round Table to the adventures of famous knights, the book offers a vivid entrance into one of the central mythic traditions of English literature.
First published in 1903, King Arthur and His Knights remains one of the most beloved American retellings of Arthurian legend. For readers interested in classic children's literature, medieval romance, heroic adventure, folklore, mythology, and the enduring legend of Camelot, Howard Pyle's work continues to stand as a handsome and memorable introduction to King Arthur's world.
