Customer Reviews

Great daily reading

For people who have not read King Arthur stories since grade school, this is a wonderful book. Refresh your memory of those wonderful tales plus read the adult versions of all the stories. After almost a month of daily reading, I look forward to this every night. I recommend it highly.

Perfect for the Scholarly Coffee Table

A beautifully and classically illustrated book that interlaces the fragments of the Arthurian saga. Entertaining to both the avid Arthur reader and the literary newcomer, the story is simply but elegantly put, and it positively emanates romanticism. It is perfect for perusing over and over again, not only because of the textual material itself but also the vivid pictures that accompany it on every other page. Friends stopping by for a visit have picked it up and paused our conversation to flip through it. A very worthwhile buy.
