I did not realize this could be so complicated. I have two different versions of King Arthur and His Knights and can’t decide which I should include in our literature reading. I didn’t find either of them in the bookfinder, but don’t really want to go get another book, if one of the ones I have will do. So, the one on my Kindle is The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles. Another book I picked up at a book sale, thinking I was just getting a print copy of the same thing, is King Arthur and His Knights based on Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur, compiled and arranged by Elizabeth Lodor Merchant, published by Calvert Education Services.
Oh, and I also have an abridged version of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Howard Pyle. That was just an ‘if ds really likes the story, maybe he’ll read that one himself’ idea. 😉
So, would any of you recommend one or the other of those for a family literature read-aloud? Would one be a better read or is it just 6 one half a dozen the other?
Thanks a bunch,
Melissa
