SuitabookThe story of King Arthur and his knights
Howard Pyle
- Reading
- Try reading one knight’s tale at a time, pausing to keep track of the characters. Check in together about which names or connections are becoming difficult to follow.
- Themes
- Arthur and the Round Table: Arthur’s formation of the Knights of the Round Table is part of the retelling. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Magic and legendary figures: The tales include Excalibur, Merlin, Morgana Le Fay and the Lady of the Lake. Magic and magical figures are part of the legendary world; their moral significance or consequences are not made clear.
- Worth knowing
