King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Great Illustrated Classics)

Rating:
Summary: This book is very good for children.
Review: "King Arthur and the knights of The Round Table" is an excellent abridgement of mainly the first but also the end of the fourth of Howard Pyle's unabridged four King Arthor novels. It isn't detailed enough for adults or very advanced kids to enjoy. It got under four stars in my view, but I rounded up. This rating would only meet one for adults. This book has action, magic, and romance and all youngsters will love this version of King Arthor. It has the Athorian basics; such as Arthor suceeding in pulling out the magical sword in the stone to become King of England, breaking this sword in a duel and receiving the more powerful excalibur, the marrige of Arthor to the magestic Guinevire, and Sir Modred trying to take his own uncle's throne. The ending is a tragic one, but I will not give it away. The is only one drawback from this book and that is that this book does not include more than a few sentences about Arthor's knights. It has the Launcelot and Guinevere thing (only having them more innocent), but doesn't say much about the other amazing Knights. I would reccomend for adults or very advanced kids, other books by Howard Pyle and "Morte D' Arthor". "Mortte D' Arthor" is intended for more mature readers, but isn't vulgar and sitcomedys are worse.

Summary: A great abidgement for children and younger readers!
Review: "King Arthur and the Knights of The Round Table" is an excellent book for readers who are young in age. It isn't quite four stars, but I rounded up. This grade is for children; as an adult book it would be only one star for the lack of detail and blood. This book is based on, the amazing aurthor and artist(unfortunately this book doesn't include his drawings), Howard Pyle's four King Arthur books; though this abridgement only includes some of the tales from the first and last of his series. It includes the basics of most Arthurian tales; the drawing of the seord in the stone, Arthur breaking this and then receiving the even more powerful sword excalibur, and Sir. Modred's atempt to take over the King's throne. This book also includes black and white pictures on every other page and have romantic and action stories which all young children will love. For adults or advanced children, I recommend "Le Morte D' Arthur" and other unabridged books by Howard Pyle. It should be said that "Le Morte D' Arthur has some adult context, though it isn't vulgar and most advanced teens would be fine with it.

Summary: Putting together the Tales
Review: Putting Together the Tale

In Howard Pyle version of King Arthur's tales, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table, he puts in many magical items to help him secede in his mission . He raises Arthur from coming birth to his death. He tells many other tales that you normally never here, like the white knight and the magic cap. It is set in the medieval times and the themes keep coming back .
This book is a very good book for younger people. I thought it was the worst book I ever read. I do not recommend this story to anyone over 11. Although I do think you should look for the illustrator in other books, the illustration were superb. The showed the right picture at the right time.
