Description
Text from the international bestseller, originally published as an illustrated book by DK. This was recommended by the American Library Association: “the legend of Arthur as you’ve never seen it”; attracted full-length features in the Sunday Times and the TES – and sold almost quarter of a million copies in 14 countries.
A beautifully written retelling of the complete King Arthur story, brought dramatically, vividly and very readably back to life. Perfect for all ages from 9 to adult.
Authentically based on the iconic medieval work, Malory’s ‘Morte d’Arthur’, it covers all the important episodes:
* The sword in the stone
* How Arthur obtained the magic sword Excalibur
* His marriage to the noble Guinevere
* The coming of the Knights of the Round Table
* Merlin and the Lady of the Lake
* The evil enchantments of Morgan le Fay
* Sir Lancelot’s love affair with the Queen
* The Quest for the Holy Grail
* The last battle
* The promise of Arthur as the ‘Once and Future King’
