This book reunites three different volumes about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table which were originally published separately; the first is an interpretation of the legend of King Arthur, how he caught of the Saxons and took hold of Excalibur; the second, about Sir Lancelot du Lac, King Arthur's most trusted knight, and his doomed love for Lady Guinevere; and the third, about Perceval the Gaul and how he grows from an ignorant brute to become a Knight in King Arthur's court and discovers the Holy Grail. What originally attracted me to this book were the beautiful illustrations by Aurélia Fronty who's work I've showcased several times before. The legends here are much simplified for a young audience, which was a perfect introduction for me, having never read these stories before. The book made me want to explore these tales further, and the illustrations were gorgeous, though the print versions of very moderate quality were not equal in brightness and sharpness to those found online.… (altro)
