These
ancient tales have been told since the fifth century, when Welsh bards
traveled the countryside, entertaining lords and ladies with stories and
songs. Those exciting tales were retold in verse by Chretien de Troyes
in his twelfth-century Le morte d’Arthur and in prose by Sir Thomas Malory during the fifteenth century. The book includes a selection of these enthralling legends, skillfully retold by renowned storyteller Isabel Wyatt. Legends of King Arthur was previously published by Lanthorn Press as Tales the Harper Sang: Medieval Stories. (Ages 9–15)
Enter a world of duels and jousting, where knights
battle to protect the honor of fair maidens and defend King Arthur’s
castle. Knights meet in fellowship at Camelot, where they are
entertained with feasts and pageantry. Honor and chivalry are valued
above all else, and courageous knights fight strange, unearthly foes to
prove themselves worthy of a place at King Arthur’s table.
