Reach for this book when your child is beginning to grapple with the complexities of right and wrong or expresses a desire for bigger adventures.

It provides a structured way to discuss leadership, the consequences of our choices, and the importance of keeping one's word. The stories follow Arthur from the magical moment he pulls the sword from the stone through the establishment of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail. While the book contains the expected battles and sorcery of medieval legend, the focus remains on the internal character of the knights. It is an ideal choice for middle-grade readers who are ready for slightly higher stakes and more sophisticated moral dilemmas, served in an accessible and beautifully illustrated format.
