This book is both based on scholarly-approved sources, and written for kids. I always wanted to read authentic stories - but ones I could still understand. It’s one book I wish I would have owned as a kid. It is not a narrative, but it accomplishes exactly what Green set out to do.
In my opinion Green succeeded! He created a book of legends that, while not having a lot of dialogue, succeeds in transporting the reader to a very different time. Roger Lancelyn Green attempted to merge the many legends into one cohesive story, basing his work mostly on Le Morte d’Arthur (1485) by Sir Thomas Malory. The legends of King Arthur and his knights have been traced as far back as the 11th century, but it is possible that they are even older! They tell the stories of a young king doing his best to tame the land during a time of magic, dragons and quests. … Ever wondered where to find accurate, clean representations of these age-old stories? Well, look no further than King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table (1953) by Roger Lancelyn Green. The Sword in the Stone, Lancelot, the quest for the Holy Grail.
