5.0 out of 5 stars Stirs the imagination, June 9, 2006

By

Jesse Rouse (Kenosha, WI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Story of the Champions of the Round Table (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)

Howard Pyle weaves another masterpiece in this, the sequel to The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. It is frought with adventure, chivalry, and Pyle's own version of Old English to go with it. Pyle's english and his drawings add greatly to the already great story, making this series one of the best I have ever read.

This book details the early adventures of Sir Launcelot, Sir Tristram, and Sir Percival. One would think that the jousts/battles would get repetitive and boring after a while, but Pyle is so masterful a storyteller that it never gets boring, and each adventure captures the imagination more than the last.

Overall grade: A+

5.0 out of 5 stars one of Pyle's amazing works, November 19, 2003

(VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Story of the Champions of the Round Table (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)

If you can find this in any addition, though the hardback is very nice gift, it is a great addition to any Grail Lore Collection.

Pyle did so many books great books on the Medieval Myths and Legends. First published in 1905, Pyle wrote and illustrated his own tales, such as Lancelot, Tristam & Isoult, and Percival. The pen in and ink drawing are simply amazing and so bring alive his stories.

Highly recommended for those interested in tales of the Round Table. Hopefully, with the interested Tolkien's Rings, it will reawaken a hunger for these tales of chivalry, of valour and those willing to stand and fight in what they believe.
