Enter Camelot and relive the coming of Arthur and how as a young boy he pulled the sword from the stone and claimed his throne. Meet Merlin, Gawain, Balin le Savage, the Knights of the Round Table, and other legendary figures in exciting tales and colorful illustrations. Witness the marriage of Arthur and Guenevere, and the Queen's later romance with the handsome Lancelot. Watch as history's most famous knights demonstrate their bravery in a fierce joust. See the beginnings of the famous quest for the Holy Grail, and how Sir Galahad, the noblest of all knights, was conceived in trickery.

In the mid-15th century Sir Thomas Malory wrote the now famous "Morte D'Arthur" while he was in prison. Foss has reinterpreted Malory's work in this book, in a retelling of the stories surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. He "becomes" Malory in order to see the tales afresh.
