Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 6 Up After Arthur's childhood and the Round Table's foundation in the Book of Merlin, and the individual adventures in the Book of Knights, the wheel of destiny turns downward to inevitable destruction in the Book of Doom. As Merlin dominates the first half, Sir Gawain is preeminent as the noblest knight in the last half. Neither a Sixth-Century horse clan chief roughing it in Wales, nor the enlightened monarch of the French legend cycle, Mockler's Arthur is a pawn moved by Merlin and Mordred. His knightly code operates in the faerie realm of sorcery, not Christianity. Bloodletting is frequent, casual, without regret. Although the tale is spun in courtly language, the hewing and smiting and swopping off of heads will be comprehensible to today's readers. (However, the book does lack sufficient explanation of the evil enchantments in the Book of Doom.) Both the charcoal sketches introducing each chapter and the robust full-color plates enhance the action. Short episodes lend themselves to storytelling. A good preface or epilogue to understanding "Camelot." Pat Harrington, Phoenix Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best King Arthur Book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Sep 6 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: King Arthur and His Knights (Hardcover)
In preparation for the novel I have been writing, I went to the library and read every single King Arthur book I could find and then some. I even got about 100 pages into the original Malroy, but being only 11, I stopped quickly.

However, of all the novels I have read, this is by far the best. The writing is wonderful and the story is there. Plus, instead of only getting a narrative, the knights actually talk and are a whole lot more descriptive and real than some of the other books I've read.

I highly reccommend this to anyone who loves the king arthur legends and want a story that sticks really close to the original.

This review is from: King Arthur and His Knights (Hardcover)
This book was great, although it didn't tell about the quest for the holy grail. The whole book is full of action.
