| Summary | "King Arthur's Knights" by Henry Gilbert is a collection of retold tales from Arthurian legend written in the early 20th century. This work aims to present the legendary stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table in a manner that is engaging and accessible for young readers. The book introduces key characters such as King Arthur, Merlin, and notable knights like Lancelot, offering thrilling adventures filled with themes of chivalry and valor. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to King Uther Pendragon, who lies dying and is concerned about the future of Britain amidst the threat of Saxons. Merlin, the wise wizard, comforts Uther with a prophecy, and upon the king’s death, Arthur emerges as his secret heir. The tale unfolds with a divine test of kingship represented by the sword in the stone, which only Arthur can draw. Readers witness his trials as he gains acceptance as king amidst a backdrop of rivalry and civil strife among powerful lords. This opening portion sets the stage for further adventures and the noble quest for establishing Arthur’s reign and his ideal of chivalry. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
