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. Then the damsel helped Sir Launcelot to encase him in his armor, so that in a little while he was altogether armed as he had been when he fell asleep under that apple-tree. Thereafter the damsel brought him out past the court-yard and unto the stable where was Sir Launcelot's horse, and the horse knew him when he came. So he saddled the horse by the light of a half-moon which sailed like a boat high up in the sky through the silver, floating clouds, and therewith he was ready to depart. Then the damsel opened the gate and he rode out into the night, which was now drawing near the dawning of the day.

It amuses me that this book tells you what is going to happen before it does.

I also really
The second of four volumes recounting the adventures of the Knights of the Round Table in a readable and entertaining style. This one covers Launcelot, Tristan and Percival, and is certainly another set of satisfying stories even if one takes into account the slight repetitiveness of the style - get
An absolute delight! Howard Pyle was my introduction to the Arthurian legends when I was just a young whippersnapper and still my favorite.
The second of Pyle’s four-volume rendition of the Arthur legend, herein we experience some general knight errantry.
In particular we are introduced to Mr. Chivalry, Launcelot of the Lake, complete with fay origins.
Tristram and the Belle Isoult get their time to cry.
Likewise Percival slaps Kay for his
The Arthurian legends have been told and retold by many different storytellers over the years. Consequently, there are many different variations, and this book is only one part of Howard Pyle’s four-volume work. But he brings a lot to the table.
The tragedy of Tristram/Tristan and Isoult/Iseult is on
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
Excellent story about heroes of the past.
