Superbly illustrated by Gustaff Tenggren, and collaboratively retold by Emma Gelders Stern and Barbara Lindsay, King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table is an informative and thoroughly entertaining retelling of the classic legends of King Arthur and Camelot for young adult readers. Filled with museum quality, stylized full-color artwork, King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table presents the whole course of King Arthur's life, and those of his allies and enemies, in skillfully narrated, straightforward prose immediately accessible to young people of intermediate reading skill and above. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is enthusiastically recommended for personal, school, and community library Mythology & Folklore collections.
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.
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.
This is a nice book, and much easier to read than the thick language of other King Arthur books. My son is an average reader, in 9th grade, so I was concerned it would be too easy for him, but he enjoyed it, and I was glad I bought it. It would still be an enjoyable read aloud for below 5th grade. It has colorful illustrations.
I loved this book when I was growing up. When my daughter was young I gave a copy to my daughter who's kept ot all these years and as an artiist I LOVE Tengrens illustrations..Its a great telling of King Arthur..
