Description of this Book
Retold out of the old romances, this collection of Arthurian tales endeavors to make each adventure-- The Quest for the Round Table, The First Quest of Sir Lancelot, How the Holy Grail Came to Camelot, and so forth--part of a fixed pattern that effectively presents the whole story, as it does in Le Morte D'Arthur, but in a way less intimidating to young readers.
