A wonderful version for adults and children alike,
By
This review is from: Book of King Arthur and His Noble Knights (Hardcover)
No doubt a very difficult version to find, however. I happened to trip across it while browsing in a used book store in south Minneapolis. There no doubt is a great deal of smiting and smoting betwixt the knights going on in this version, but dated language notwithstanding, my two sons thoroughly enjoyed my reading of this to them. They loved the pure action contained within these tales, and the drawings at the beginning and ending of each chapter were terrific. Of all the versions I've looked at of the King Arthur tales, this, I felt, was the most accessible and readable for audiences of all ages. Too many versions contain language that is far too "medieval" or far too modern. This strikes a nice balance. A wonderful read to follow this one up with is, surprisingly, Don Quixote, which is a spoof of exactly this type of book.
