Book summary

The secret son of King Uther, young Arthur is brought up by the knight Ector without knowing anything of his birth. At fifteen, he pulls from a stone the sword that no lord had been able to move, and becomes king. Around the Round Table, Lancelot, Tristram and Galahad set off on adventures and on the quest for the Grail.

Merlin, Excalibur, Camelot: these legends, retold here from Thomas Malory, have inspired countless stories of knights.

Told in a clear, lively style, they are a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
