King Arthur

Text from the international bestseller, originally published as an illustrated book by DK. This was recommended by the American Library Association: "the legend of Arthur as you've never seen it"; attracted full-length features in the Sunday Times and the TES – and sold almost quarter of a million copies in 14 countries.

A beautifully written retelling of the complete King Arthur story, brought dramatically, vividly and very readably back to life. Perfect for all ages from 9 to adult.

Authentically based on the iconic medieval work, Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur', it covers all the important episodes: * The sword in the stone * How Arthur obtained the magic sword Excalibur * His marriage to the noble Guinevere * The coming of the Knights of the Round Table * Merlin and the Lady of the Lake * The evil enchantments of Morgan le Fay * Sir Lancelot's love affair with the Queen * The Quest for the Holy Grail * The last battle * The promise of Arthur as the 'Once and Future King'

Reviews of the first edition: – "a delightful retelling of the story which manages to bring the story alive and captivate the reader" (Goodreads) – "This king Arthur book is amazing...although this is aimed at children as an adult King Arthur fan I think this is one of my best King Arthur books as it summarises the Malory version of the legends" (amazon.co.uk) – "I recommend this book to those who like Arthurian Mythology" (amazon.com) – "chronicles the legend...simply and accessibly... both entertaining and informative" (Dispatch Online) – "vividly brought to life" (Northwest Evening Mail)
