Wizards and knights! Queens and quests! The tales of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table are legendary favorites whose appeal transcends time. This gorgeously illustrated... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I think all kids 7 and up should read this book because it is a real history book. And they should read it because everybody should get a turn reading stuff they haven't read before. I would describe this book as a moral for listening to other people. This book was really sad because all the kings and queens died. I think there should never be wars. It was a really exciting book because I got to learn something.
Very good reading

My daughter and I who were not entirely familiar with the legend of King Arthur, enjoyed this book very much. Although it is a quick overview of Arthur's exploits as well as the adventures of the knights of the round table, it is nontheless captivating. Easy to read and nicely illustrated.
Great Book!

I first read this around 1967, when I was 10 years old. I remember it quite fondly. It felt very real, read very smoothly, and the pictures were amazing, if a little gory. I strongly recommend this book for young readers. I'm completely impartial, too. My mother and grandmother were the co-authors! :)
