King Arthur's Knights / The Tales Re-told for Boys & Girls

A retelling presents thirteen Arthurian episodes drawn from medieval romances, recounting the rise of a young king who wins his kingdom and the ensuing adventures of his knights. Episodes range from tragic blows and quests to tests of honour, including the making of famed knights, enchanted encounters, deeds of valor, courtly love, and the search for the holy grail. Interwoven are themes of chivalry: courage, truthfulness, protection of the weak, and courteous conduct. Magic, wizards, and supernatural challenges punctuate the narrative, culminating in plots of betrayal, civil war, and the final rebellion that brings the knightly age to a tragic close.
