King Arthur's Knights

The legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have been told numerous times since their first appearance in Thomas Malory's Morte D'Arthur and the Mabinogian of mediaeval Welsh mythology. Among the several stories, Henry Gilbert's spirited interpretation remains one of the greatest for presenting the King and his Knights. Gilbert contains the Sword in the Stone; the fall of "the Stroke Dolorous"; Sir Lancelot's difficulties, such as the saving of Queen Gwenevere and the conflict with Sir Gawaine; the search of the Holy Grail; and Mordred's rebellion and the Round Table's last war in thirteen episodes.These daring and valiant acts are more than just stories of adventure; they uphold the noble ideals of these legendary figures: "to protect the distressed, speak the truth, keep his word to all, be courteous and gentle to women, defend right against might, and do or say nothing that should sully the fair name of Christian knighthood."

Henry Gilbert's King Arthur's Knights, a beautiful and mystical account of "those glorious days when the earth was young," is likely to capture generation after generation of readers, young and old.
