King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table
by Roger Lancelyn Green (Author)Publisher: Penguin Books (1960)
PaperbackItem Weight: 5.6 ounces
4.4 x 7.05 inches, 282 pages
King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table is a retelling of the Arthurian legends, principally Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, by Roger Lancelyn Green. It was intended for a child audience. It was first published by Puffin Books in 1953 and has since been reprinted many times. In 2008 it was reissued in the Puffin Classics series with an introduction by David Almond (the award-winning author of Clay, Skellig, Kit's Wilderness and The Fire-Eaters), and the original illustrations by Lotte Reiniger.
Green set out to weave together the many legends surrounding King Arthur into a single narrative. Thinking that Malory's work was more of a loose collection of separate stories. Green attempted to tell a cohesive story with beginning, middle and end. He drew from many other medieval sources, but mainly Malory, particularly so in the last section of the book.
