What starts as a rags to riches story transforms into an adventure
as this collection of legends explores the triumphs and failures of
a young king and his accomplices. When Arthur, a young boy
mistreated by his family, is put up to the challenge to remove a
sword stuck in a stone, his moral character and embodiment of hope
allows him to pass the test and win the sword, Excalibur. Artur is
then named the king, and becomes the standard of leadership and the
founder of Camelot. Wielding his prized sword, Excalibur, Arthur
goes on to encounter enchantresses, assemble noble knights, and
lead Britain's defense against the Saxon invasion. King Arthur will
join his notable allies, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Lady of the
Lake, to solve mysteries, achieve quests, and fight battles. The
Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles has
inspired modern film and literary adaptations, joining the vast
collection of poetry, prose and art dedicated to King Arthur and
his knights. These fantastical stories provide an escape into
adventure, and bring lessons of overcoming adversity into the 21st
century, while treating readers to experience the comradery of the
round table and the magical adventures of Camelot. Sir James
Knowles' The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights is vitalized
with this artistic edition. This new, modern design and readable
manuscript will allow readers to be immersed in the action,
witnessing Merlin's prophecies, aiding Lancelot's quest for the
Holy Grail, and fighting alongside Arthur in battle.
