Commentary Toward Books The Story of King Arthur and His Knights
In these wonderfully illustrated tales, renowned storyteller Howard Pyle carries us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his Round Table. The book chronicles the adventures of Arthur as he draws the sword Excalibur from the anvil, proving his right to the throne, and as he courts and wins the heart of Guinevere. Later he suffers the treachery of the wicked Morgana le Fay and witnesses the tragic fate of the Enchanter Merlin. In Pyle’s classic retelling, the legends come alive in unsurpassed vividness. More powerful than any of Merlin’s spells, The Story of King Arthur and His Knights has enthralled and delighted generations of readers fascinated by chivalry, magic, and the unforgettable drama of medieval times.Rating Epithetical Books The Story of King Arthur and His Knights

The Story of King Arthur and his Knights is the first in the series including, The Story of the Champions of the Round Table, The Story of Lancelot and his Companions and, finally, The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur. it comprises the entire Arthurian legend. i read all of these books when i was around 10, and i recommend them, as they say, to children of all ages. his language certainly SOUNDS authentic. the narrative is detailed and gripping and the illustrations, Pyle's own,This was a well written book, besides all the language used that people now days don't use. The legend is really interesting. It talks about the life of Arthur Pendragon and how he became king at such a young age, and how he created his court of knights. It also talks about the adventures that King Arthur had, and the adventures that some of his knights had. The book is very detailed and the writing is very powerful. The Author even said he was going to make another book about it at the end. I
Note: this book inspires brave deeds and noble speech.I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was written in the 1800's, yet the feel and pace of this book was so modernly refreshing. I finished it in less than a week. It's not as complicated as Shakespeare to read, and I found myself gasping aloud when something happened that I had not expected- there are countless plot twists. Each chapter had me engrossed more and more. And, I feel compelled to say that the Catholicism found
The book "King Arthur and his Knights" by Howard Pyle is a very fast read book. The Diction used in the book is not complex at all and the story is fairly easy to follow; If one looses track of the plot at one part in the book they can pick it back up again very quickly because of the format. This book is written to were there is a set of short stories, however there is still an overall plot. I would rate this book four out of five stars because of the format. Each of these short stories are
This is a classic epic that generation upon generation has been introduced to in one way or another. This book by Howard Pyle is the most complete glimpse into the world of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is a bit dated in Pyle's writing style, despite the fact that it was written in the 20th century, however, I suspect, it is a well executed attempt at writing in the style of Middle English. The stories are compelling. The characters are fresh yet familiar. Something I
I was curious and it was available...it was fine. They didn't have much regard for women and as for the knights, they were kind of a twisted type of chivalry...all mixed up with pride and a quick temper.
I really liked this book, these Arthurian told by Howard Pyle. There is The Sword in the Stone of course, and Merlin, and also lots of lesser-known adventures. This book is over 100 years old, and Pyles language is rather archaic, with loads of "thee"s and "thou"s. Take this sentence for example: "Alas! my dear young knight, what hath happened thee to bring thee unto such woful condition as this which I behold?" Don't be put off by this, it's all immensely readable and enjoyable!
