Wonderfully illustrated tales that transport you back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his Round Table.

In Howard Pyle’s classic retelling, the legends come alive in unsurpassed vividness. The book chronicles the adventures of Arthur as he draws the sword Excalibur from the anvil, proving his right to the throne, and as he courts and wins the heart of Guinevere. Later, he suffers the treachery of the wicked Morgana le Fay and witnesses the tragic fate of the Enchanter Merlin.

More powerful than any of Merlin’s spells, The Story of King Arthur and His Knights has enthralled and delighted generations of readers fascinated by chivalry, magic, and the unforgettable drama of medieval times.
