Product Description

Product Description
A legend is born when young Arthur meets Merlin and draws the mighty sword from its stone. This spellbinding retelling brings to life King Arthur and the adventures of his Knights, from the quest for the Holy Grail to the final tragedy of the Last Battle.

About the Author
Roger Lancelyn Green was born in 1918 and lived in Oxford and at his family home in Cheshire, which the Greens had owned for more than 900 years. He loved storytelling and was fascinated by traditional fairy tales, myths and legends from around the world. He was a professional actor, a librarian and a teacher. His retellings include Egyptian, Greek and Norse legends, plus a retelling of Robin Hood. He also wrote many books for adults, including a biography of his friend C. S. Lewis, creator of the The Chronicles of Narnia. Roger Lancelyn Green died in 1987.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, 25 Jul 2004
Many authors have dabbled with the stories of King Arthur, and of the many I have read, this book always sticks in my mind as one of the most entertaining reads.
A good place for anyone to start finding out about the legend of Arthur. Once you've finished this title, try to get hold of a copy of Rosemary Sutcliff's 'Sword at Sunset' for a completely different take on the story of Arthur. Both are highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, 17 Sep 2003
By Shauna (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
I first read this book more than fifteen years ago while still at primary school. In the edition I read there were no illustrations but the quality and descriptive nature of the language had me hooked from the start. My imagination was fired by the heroic deeds of King Arthur and his Knights. This book is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone who like to lose themselves in a glorious book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant book, 9 Feb 2004
By Danny (York, North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
i read this book and it started my whole interest in king arthur. since then i've gone on to look at the real life, historcial king arthur, and enjoy reading about him too. this book is a great read and fantastic introduction to the legend of king arthur.

if this book makes you want to go on to find out more about the historical king arthur, read "Legendary Warriors" and "The Discovery of King Arthur" when you've finished this.
