King Arthur and His Knights - Softcover

These tales of the legendary king and his knights of the Round Table form a highly readable abridgment of Thomas Malory's classic Le Morte d'Arthur. Beloved fables of Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Galahad, Lancelot, and other denizens of Camelot are enhanced by an abundance of outstanding black-and-white illustrations by Louis Rhead.

While pursuing his literary interests, Sir James Knowles (1831–1908) conducted a successful career as an architect. He and Tennyson founded the Metaphysical Society, an organization dedicated to discovering common ground between religion and science. The scion of a noted family of Staffordshire potters, Louis Rhead (1857–1926) began his career as a ceramic artist. He was a prominent figure in the poster art craze of the 1890s and remains best known for his illustrations for children's books.
