Story of King Arthur and His Knights

Before there was Camelot, there was a boy who pulled a sword from stone and became a king. Howard Pyle transforms the legend of Arthur into something unforgettable: a tale of wonder, honor, and the fragile dream of a perfect kingdom. Here is the miracle of the sword in the anvil, the counsel of Merlin the magician, and the gathering of the bravest knights in all the land to sit at the Round Table where no seat is higher than another. We follow Sir Pellias, the gentle knight, and Sir Gawaine, the bold, as they ride through enchanted forests, battle dark sorcery, and uphold the chivalric code against the scheming of Morgana le Fay. Pyle writes with the richness of a medieval chronicler but the clarity of a master storyteller, making ancient magic feel immediate and noble purpose feel urgent. This is the Arthurian legend at its most stirring: before the tragedy, before the fall, when everything was still possible. For readers who believe in honor, who dream of castles and dragons, who want their myths told with prose as beautiful as the legends themselves.
