A great classic story about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. A great read for all ages.
One cannot call themselves educated or well-read without having been exposed to the many versions of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. What makes this book unique are the great black and white illustrations along with the story. As mentioned previously, there are several versions of this story. This volume by Howard Pyle, is the original traditional version.The story begins with the great King Uther-Pendragon, who had defeated all his enemies and became the overlord of all England. His advisor was the great prophet Merlin, the wise. Merlin advised the King to hide his new born son, Arthur, because of the many plots against the King. Arthur was hidden by Merlin by having Sir Ector of Bonmaison, raise Arthur. When Arthur was eighteen years old, he drew out a magical sword from a large stone, which Merlin created to prove that Arthur was indeed the real King of England. The rest of the story revolves around creating the Knights of the Round Table, and his love of Queen Guinevere. This is a story about courage, love, betrayal, magic, jealousy, good and evil.In conlusion, this is one of the important classics that every educated person needs to read and understand. Indeed, it is a story about the many twists and turns, happy times and tragic times we all experience in living with other human beings.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Predator Hunter: A warrior's memoir)

Fantasy Love unleashed
Ordered this for my daughter as she is making her way into the realm of fantasy. She is enjoying it and loves to give me verbal reports of what she’s read. I can tell that she is going to be a fantasy lover. Great chapter book for young readers. Love this series of books.

My brother had a collection of the Great Illustrated Classics when we were kids
My brother had a collection of the Great Illustrated Classics when we were kids. While they are abridged versions, they are perfect for younger readers. Just got this for my son in 4th grade and he is really enjoying it. I just ordered The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!

Medium Size with Black and White Illustrations
This is a medium size story book for kids with black and while illustrations the inking of which reminds me of the Marvel comic style.The book has 21 chapters that cover the basic Arthurian saga. There are numerous pictures.Color would have had a dramatic impact, but I like B&W movies as well. I think B&W is better suited to 1940's Warner Brothers and 1960's French movies.

Great for encouraging reading
My son enjoys all the great illustrated classic books. I had to hide them so he would read something else. One year later, he's still asking for them. These books are easy reading. There's a picture on every other page. Children enjoy them.
