Title The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights
Note "Merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory's version ... with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources--and an endeavor to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story."--Pref.
Note Reading ease score: 78.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.

Summary "The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights" by Sir James Knowles is a collection of Arthurian tales adapted from Sir Thomas Malory's original works, likely written in the mid-19th century. This volume seeks to popularize the legends surrounding King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table, setting the stage for a rich exploration of chivalry, valor, and adventure during a mythical time in Britain. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the ancient context of Merlin's prophecies, the rise of King Arthur, and the overarching theme of rightful leadership. The narrative begins with King Vortigern attempting to build a castle thwarted by mysterious forces, leading to the discovery of Merlin, who foretells the rise of Arthur. As Arthur grows in secrecy, unaware of his royal lineage, the story establishes his destiny to unite Britain, culminating in significant events like the extraction of the sword from the stone, which marks him as the true king. Amid prophecies, battles, and the emergence of noble knights, the opening lays a foundation for the rich tapestry of legends that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
