Written and illustrated by Howard Pyle in 1903, this retelling begins with Arthur drawing the sword from the anvil and winning his kinghood, then follows him to Excalibur and to Guinevere. Merlin, Morgana le Fay and her floating isle of Avalon, and knights such as Pellinore and Gawaine fill the pages, told in a gently archaic prose.
The first of Pyle’s four Arthurian books, ideal for young readers and anyone who loves the legends. Download the free EPUB.
