The Knights of the Round Table (Myths and Legends)

I finished reading this book and I recommend this book to those who like King Arthur's knights and knights in general. The knight is my most favorite warrior of them all. And I recommend this book to those who like Arthurian Mythology.

The book is an abstract of several adventures of the knights of Round Table (but it has none of the Grail Quests!!?) and also has several information on the origin of the stories and the medieval authors, but it does not excel in either field. There are much better books regarding the stories.It has many illustrations, but most of them are from old editions. On the other hand, the original illustrations are very good.

gift for my granddaughter. She likes it.

A collection of stories about the knights of the round table.

'The Knights of the Round Table' by Daniel Mersey is part of the Osprey Myths and Legends series. I've loved this series, and this one is no exception.The focus this time around are the knights of the Round Table, but, more specifically, the quests they embarked on. The stories of the quests are given, and the origins of the stories in literature are also given. There are insets throughout the book with deeper information about some of the main characters. Knights are tempted by women, or made to ride in carts, or challenged to feats of arms. One knight wields a fish knife and defends the lady who mocks him for his stink. One knight marries a hideous woman and discovers a surprise.I've loved stories of King Arthur since my childhood, and I've read a lot of books on the subject. These are great shorter translations of some of the stories. I liked the illustrations by Alan Lathwell, and all the other ones from various sources. There is a nice section at the end with selected reading and watching for those who want to learn more.I received a review copy of this ebook from Osprey Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

A good YA introduction to the infamous Knights of the Round Table and their quests. This ebook has some wonderful illustrations and an excellent bibliography for further research. These stories include the Welsh and Troyes versions and just about everything in between. You will find some of the more well-known knights and stories as well as some lesser known ones.Net Galley Feedback
