Book Excerpt: 
. . .The damsel bringeth Sir Launcelot to freedom.

So, having arranged all these matters, the damsel Elouise opened the door of that room and led Sir Launcelot out thence; and she led him through various passages and down several long flights of steps, and so brought him at last unto a certain chamber, where was his armor.

An absolute delight! Howard Pyle was my introduction to the Arthurian legends when I was just a young whippersnapper and still my favorite.

Que livro maravilhoso! Ansiosa pela continuação! Todos os homens desde de criança devem lê! Pois fala muito forte sobre honra, dever etc.

Pyle’s tales of the knights of the round table were surprisingly pleasant and engaging. The stories of Sir Launcelot were alright, Sir Tristram phenomenal, and Sir Percival delightful. The illustrations were lovely too. The biggest let down were some of the ending. They were great tales, but I’d fin

En mi opinión, una buena adaptación de las leyendas artúricas de Howard Pyle y una buena edición (aun no siendo la original), con ilustraciones en blanco y negro del autor. Como siempre en el género artúrico, critico el sexismo y los roles y estereotipos de género, el contenido religioso problemátic

I freaking enjoyed everything in this book, starting from the simple narration to the illustrations.
