THE BOY'S KING ARTHUR

by Thomas Lanier. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1880.

I said in one of my posts on the 1001 series the Howard Pyle version of King Arthur stories was much better. I take that back. Lanier's version (based on Thomas Mallory's writing of these legends) is much mor detailed and authentic.

The characters do definitely spend a lot of time fighting. Also, Guiniver can't seem to get along with anybody.

If nothing else, this book will make you feel very intellectual.
