In a Britain fractured by strife and uncertainty, a young boy named Arthur performs a miracle that changes the course of history: he draws a sword from a stone, revealing his true identity as the rightful King. But the crown is only the beginning. To truly rule, Arthur must learn that a king is defined not by his power, but by the nobility of his heart.
From the enchanted shores where he receives the mystical Excalibur to the hallowed halls of Camelot, Arthur gathers the most valiant souls of the age. Together with the wise Merlin, the brave Sir Gawaine, and the faithful Sir Pellias, he strives to establish a Round Table of knights dedicated to the service of the weak and the defense of the right.
Rich with Howard Pyle's iconic, masterful illustrations, this classic retelling breathes life into the timeless ideals of honor and courage. It is an invitation to journey back to a world of high adventure, where every trial is an opportunity for greatness and every knight must prove his worth through patience and humility.
The Story of King Arthur and his Knights is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
