Illustrated Tales King Arthur

Camelot, the sword in the stone and the long quest for the Grail are gathered into one 304-page hardback of retold Arthurian legend. Sarah Courtauld retells the stories for younger readers and Natasha Kuricheva illustrates them, so the sweep of the legends stays intact while the language comes down to a level children can manage. Merlin, Excalibur, Lancelot, Guinevere and Gawain all appear, along with the Round Table itself and the final battle that closes the cycle. Published by Usborne, the volume is substantial enough to be read a chapter at a time over many weeks. What the reading experience is like: • 304 hardback pages covering the best-known Arthurian legends • Retellings by Sarah Courtauld with artwork by Natasha Kuricheva • Episodes that stand alone, so reading can stop and start • An entry point into British folklore for readers new to it A solid choice for children drawn to myth and legend, published by Usborne and available from Boipoka.
