About This Book

A collection of retellings gathers the principal Arthurian legends into a single, youth-oriented narrative, beginning with Merlin's sorceries and the king's rise and the forging of the Round Table. It recounts individual episodes—heroic quests, tournaments, enchantments, tests of honor, and tragic romances—featuring knights such as Lancelot, Gawain, Tristram, Geraint, and others, and antagonists like Morgan le Fay. The tales move between chivalric adventure and moral trial, weaving encounters with the supernatural into personal loyalties and betrayals, and culminating in the conflicts and losses that lead to the Round Table's dissolution and the king's passing.
