Stories of King Arthur's Knights, Told to the Children

Long ago, a boy sat by a fire in a great hall and listened to tales of Camelot, of a king who never died, and of knights whose honor shone brighter than their armor. Those same stories have been told to children for generations, and this collection gathers the most beloved among them in language that rings like a bell. Here you'll meet Geraint, who loved Enid more than his own glory, and young Gareth, who proved that kindness and courage can live in the same heart. There is Sir Lancelot, the greatest of all warriors, and Sir Galahad, pure enough to seek the Holy Grail. Mary Macgregor retells these Welsh legends with a poet's ear and a grandmother's warmth, drawing from Sir Thomas Malory's ancient pages but polishing them for young readers. The quests are dangerous, the odds often seem impossible, but virtue wins because it must. This is the old magic: stories designed to make children brave, gentle, and true.
