King Arthur: Tales from the Round Table by Andrew Lang


This book is written in a very interesting way. Instead of just droning on with facts and historical theories, the author presents the book to you in a story fashion including dialogue. When the characters talk they speak in the Old English that they would have in their time. Some of what they say is difficult to understand especially to the layman. It is a very short account of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The author could not possibly cover everything written about the subject in such a small book. The illustrations (though all black and white) really did add to the story. This is a great starter book for tween-age readers who are interested in the Arthurian legends. Would definitely recommend this book to the right reader.
