King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table

Description

“The Quest for the Round Table, ” “The First Quest of Sir Lancelot, ” “How the Holy Grail Came to Camelot, ” and so forth–part of a fixed pattern that effectively presents the whole story, as it does in Le Morte D’Arthur, but in a way less intimidating to young readers.

The Everyman’s Library Children’s Classics series is a superb collection of the world’s greatest children’s books, from fiction to poetry, in enduring hardcover editions with charming original illustrations.

The colourful full-cloth hardcovers feature sewn bindings, silk ribbon markers, and classic illustrations—many in full color—from such beloved illustrators as Arthur Rackham, Aubrey Beardsley, Ivan Bilibin, Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway, Heath Robinson, Mervyn Peake, and more.

Roger Lancelyn Green (1918-1987) was a biographer of children’s writers and a reteller of myths, legends and fairy tales. He was a member of the Oxford literary group the Inklings, along with J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
