King Arthur by Thomas Crawford and John Green

Description

The heroic deeds of the legendary English king spring to life in this imaginatively rendered coloring book that recounts the adventures of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot, the greatest knight of the Round Table.

Thirty-three realistic, finely detailed illustrations – including a double-page spread and six decorative initials – depict the young Arthur brandishing a sword he has miraculously pulled from a stone; knights jousting on horseback; Lancelot’s daring journey to the Chapel Perilous; his battle with a fire-breathing dragon; Arthur’s mortal combat with his nephew, Sir Mordred; the King’s final journey to Avalon; and many more vivid illustrations and vignettes.

An exciting text, specially adapted for young readers by Thomas Crawford, accompanies the illustrations, making this a wonderful reading and coloring experience for young readers thrilled by the pageantry and excitement of the age when knighthood was in flower.
