S tories ofKingArthur andHisKnights by U.Waldo Cutler is a retelling of the Arthurian legends presented as a collection of stories. The work draws upon the earlier texts of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur and was likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of chivalry, honor, and adventure, centered around the legendary figures of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and their quests, including quests for Excalibur and the Holy Grail. At the start of this retelling, the narrative introduces King Arthur's lineage, detailing how he was born to King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, with the pivotal role of the magician Merlin in Arthur's destiny. As Uther falls sick after marrying Igraine, Merlin takes Arthur for safe upbringing. The story unravels the tension surrounding Arthur's claim to the throne, depicting a legendary sword bound in a stone that only the rightful king can pull out. Arthur's successful extraction of the sword signifies his destiny to rule, setting the stage for his adventures and the formation of the noble Round Table, where he will gather his famous knights to uphold justice and chivalry in England.I t befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England, that there was a mighty duke in Cornwall that held war against him a long time. And the duke was named the Duke of Tintagil. Ten miles away from his castle, called Terrabil, there was, in the castle Tintagil, Igraine of Cornwall, that King Uther liked and loved well, for she was a good and fair lady, and passing wise. He made her great cheer out of measure, and desired to have her love in return; but she would not assent unto him, and for pure anger and for great love of fair Igraine King Uther fell sick. At that time there lived a powerful magician named Merlin, who could appear in any place he chose, could change his looks as he liked, and at will could do wonderful things to help or to harm knights and ladies. So to King Uther came Sir Ulfius, a noble knight, and said, I will seek Merlin, and he shall do you remedy so that your heart shall be pleased. So Ulfius departed, and by adventure met Merlin in beggar's array, and made him promise to be not long behind in riding to Uther's pavilion.
