Stories of King Arthur's Knights Told to the Children - Mary Macgregor |
This book tell six stories from the legends of King Arthur and his knights. Most, however, involve the adventures of knights of the round table, are less well-known than the stories of Arthur himself. Four of the stories are love stories between knights and their fair ladies: Geraint and Enid, Lancelot and Elaine, Pelleas and Ettarde, and Gareth and Lynette. The final two stories involve the great heroes, Sir Galahad and King Arthur. |
BESIDE HER STOOD HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. |
More than four hundred years ago there lived a man called Sir Thomas Malory, who wrote in English words many of the beautiful Welsh tales about King Arthur's Knights, that the people of Wales loved so well.
All the stories in this little book were found in Malory's big book, except "Geraint and Enid." But it, too, is one of the old Welsh tales that tell of the brave knights and fair ladies of King Arthur's Court.
Many times, since Sir Thomas Malory wrote his book, have these stories been told again to old and young, but perhaps never before have they been told to the children so simply as in this little book.
