Trina Schart Hyman.
Based on an early manuscript of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, this retelling of the legend of King Arthur proceeds from his birth until he is taken away to Avalon at the end of his life. Intricate borders and romantic art illustrate the formally written three chapters. This solid introduction to Arthurian lore will encourage readers to learn more.
