K-3Books of Wonder series.
Large, dramatic illustrations set the stage for this tale about King Arthur's most notorious knight. Beginning with the battle that left the infant Lancelot orphaned, the story describes the adventures of the knight's early life and ends soon after his marriage to Lady Elaine and the birth of Galahad. His future betrayal of the king is only foreshadowed, but readers will find plenty of drama in the events that are presented.
