Summary: A magnificent collection of Round Table stories
Review: I read King Aurthur and his Knights of the Round Table this summer and I found it to be genuinely interesting. Each step to reaching the height of Logres was well worded and every story allowed me to picture exactly what was happening in my head. Although I thought the ending was sad, it did not take away from the novel as a whole and I would recomend it to anyone who enjoys mythical stories.

Summary: Awesome tales in the truest sense of the word.
Review: I really like Rosemary Sutcliff's books, including her Arthurian
trilogy; however, I prefer Green's King Arthur because, for me,
it captures the sense of dread and awe that hangs over the
legends so well. The illustrations are very nice, as well. For my money this is a first-rate rendition.

Summary: King Arthur and his Brave Knights
Review: I went to the library one day to get a book. I decided to get a book about the middle ages because we went on a field trip to Medieval Times. Then I Found the book called King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and I thought this book would be interesting.King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table was a very exciting book. Almost at every chapter someone's head was cut off. The book was very similar to the movie called Merlin, but the book is like the sequel to the movie because the movie ends with Merlin in the cave and in the book that happened early in chapter four. My favorite part of the book was at the very end of the book. People thought King Arthur was dead but a shepherd person found a person who said there would be gold and silver in the cave next to the Hazel tree. The shepherd went into the cave and saw many knights sleeping and one king. The shepherd stepped back and hit a bell, which woke the king. The king asked if it was day. The shepherd said it was not day so therefore sleep on. The king said he would sleep once more until the day comes when he shall rise and bring victory to the people of Britain. The king told the shepherd to take as much gold and silver as he wants to before his knights wake. I thought this part was the best.

Summary: King Arthur
Review: In the story of King Arthur many things happened that not many people knew about. The story started when Arthur was a boy. He lived with a group of knights. When Arthur is king he retrieves the Excaliber and creates the round table, but he was told that when his table holds 50 knights his kingdom would start to fall. One of his advisors lies and tells Arthur that one of his knights had kidnapped the queen, although the knight had only gone to see the queen. In the end when he is on his deathbed he told his men to take him to the lake where the famous Lady of the Lake lived, and there he lived for the rest of his life.
I chose to read this book because a friend had given it to me. I really like the medieval times because it is deep into fairy tales like dragons, wizards, and witches. I would love to read everything about the medieval times. When I started reading the book, it seemed to be a little boring, but as I continued reading, it became quite interesting.
My favorite part was when King Arthur went to the Enchanted Forest to seek the famous sword Excaliber. While traveling through the forest he finds the lake that held Excaliber. Then the Lady of the Lake came and told him about the sword. After retrieving the sword he fights his old enemy, Pellinor and mysteriously does not get hurt in the fight. This is when he finds out that the sword is so powerful that it can cut a piece of iron into two in one stroke. He also learned that the sheath that holds the sword allows anyone who holds it to never get wounded.

Summary: King Arthur and his Brave Knights
Review: King Arthur and his Brave Knights
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green, were a whole bunch of different stories. They were how Arthur was raised and became king, how each of the knights came apart of the round table and how each of the went on their quest for the Holy Grail, and the departing of King Arthur and his kingdom.
The author, Roger L. Green, emphasized some differences to the original tale. For instance, Launcelot never loved Elaine. Elaine loved Launcelot very much but she was sad because Launcelot did not love her back. So Elaine went to Brysen who was a sorcerer and she made Elaine appear as Guinevere (Launcelot's love). When Launcelot saw Elaine that appeared as Guinevere he asked her to marry him and she said yes. The next morning when Launcelot saw Elaine in bed with him instead of Guinevere he went mad and started to live in the forest. Another change in the story was that the author called the Lady of the Lake, Lady Nimue. This book took place in the 6th century and the narrator is in 3rd person. The themes of the book were basically stories of each knight on their quest for the Holy Grail.
I would recommend this book to avid readers and people who enjoy fantasies. This reason because it is hard to understand some of the words are difficult to understand.

Review: King Arthur and his knights of the round table was not the book for me. This is a historical fiction book . I like books with a bit more action but if you like a historical book you can get into this book!

Summary: The definitive synopsis of Malory's "Morte"
Review: Lanier has conducted his job of editor superbly well. Malory's original text can be confusing at times, as the plot has a tendency to be submerged under incidental detail that may well have interested a medieval reader, but which can too easily send a modern audience into "filtering mode". This is a problem that Lanier appears to have identified and to have conscientiously avoided.
Also, and no less importantly, Lanier has avoided falling into the trap of "retelling" the tales. Malory's language is his own; Lanier has simply updated the spelling. As such, the full power of the work is allowed to be transmitted through the text.
The result of this synthetic approach - adherence to the meat and style of the original work, combined with the skillful editing of the less germane sections - results in a superbly crafted edition of Le Morte Darthur. I grew up in Britain where I was exposed to many versions of the tales, and yet I have always regarded Lanier's edition, intriguingly illustrated by Florian, to be the most accessible and definitive work.
