This Sir James Knowles version of King Arthur is considered as the most accurate and well known original story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
The great King Arthur is a legendary British sovereign who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early sixth century. This book is chock-full of entertaining adventures involving knights in shining armour; damsels in distress, fierce jousting and sword fights to the death, battles against hoards of enemies, giants, dragons, tournaments, witches, magic, and miracles.
Arthurian literature thrived during the Middle Ages but waned in the centuries that followed until it experienced a major resurgence in the 19th century. In the 21st century, the legend lives on, not only in literature but also in adaptations for theatre, film, television, comics and other media.
