    Cover of 'King Arthur And His Knights Of The Round Table' by Roger Lancelyn Green

    This book is a retelling of the classic Arthurian legends, weaving together the tales of the legendary King Arthur and his noble knights. It chronicles Arthur's ascent to the throne after pulling the enchanted sword Excalibur from a stone, the establishment of the Round Table, and the various quests undertaken by his knights, including the search for the Holy Grail. The narrative also delves into the personal stories of key figures such as Sir Lancelot, Guinevere, and Merlin the wizard, exploring themes of chivalry, honor, and betrayal. Rich in medieval mythology and adventure, the book captures the imagination with its depiction of a romanticized, yet perilous, world of knights and their code of ethics.
