Full of mystery, bravery and romance, the legends surround King Arthur and his brave Knights of the Round Table are some of the most exciting and compelling stories of all time. They are freshly told in this collection with characters and scenes vividly illustrated by Natasha Kuricheva. The collection begins with The Sword in the Stone – the moment when the young boy Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and so announces himself as the rightful heir- and ends with Lancelot’s Return. In between there are scenes of dread, joy, terror and hope. A useful guide at the end helps to introduce the different characters.
