The Story of King Arthur and His Knights Audiobook

" I loved these versions of King Arthur's stories. Howard Pyle is a really fun author; his little notes before each part are very funny. The whole book is written in old-English style which I found authentic and just right for the story. I'm excited to read the other King Arthur books by Pyle! "

" I read this when I was a kid and the idea that a man would stand for the broken and needy in a noble manner captivated my heart. "

" I am reading this for the second time and loving it even more than the first time! I love the language and flow of this story. It is so fun to read aloud!!! "

" Howard Pyle was an American artist, writer, and teacher. In The Story of King Arthur and his Knights he showed all of these roles. He illustrated the book, he wrote the story, and he teaches life lesson from the experiences of his characters. I really loved reading and learning from the heroes from the legend of King Arthur. "

" Loved it! This book was originally picked out by my seven year old son. We were to read it together. We didn't realize it is written in the old english and difficult to comprehend sometimes. Anyhow after a couple of chapters he didn't want anything else to do with it. I finished it myself. Great story of honor, valor, courage, chivalry. You know all the stuff that you wish was affluent in our society today but has been forgotten. "

" Not the best version of the King Arthur tales. Soemtimes tedious. Reminded of mandatory reading from a high school or college lit class. "

" I Have to read it for challenge :( "

" it's a good book but i read it when i was younger. the pictures are really nice though :) "

" I wish I could have given this book two and a half stars, because ,while I liked a lot of the messages in the book, the rest of the story was rather unexciting through most of it. I thought the character were alright, and the plot was so-so not totally captivating. I did, however, like the route of speech the characters took, it was a welcome change from other dialogue in other books,a little poetic I guess. Overall, this novel was a good starting block for more stories about Camelot. "

" it was not bad i thought it was going to be a book about king arthur but it wasn't it was about all of the people who got the honor of siiting at the round table! "

" Great stories, I enjoyed them all. "

" Again, I am a fan of all Arthurian stories, and this one is one of the better ones I have read. I love the language, a nicely archaic English, suitable for Arthurian storytelling, though it was actually written at the turn of the 20th century. I would like to read more of his works on the subject, as this book covers only the beginnings of the tale of Arthur and his Knights. I will have to search the library where I found this one. "

" Interesting, but very wordy and arduous to to get through. "

" The kids and I just finished reading these tales together. It was much more enjoyable than the Sir Thomas Mallory version. Hank was disappointed that Sir Lancelot doesn't make it into these stories, so we'll have to continue on with the next book in the series. "

" Was the first book I ever read as a teenager. "

" The illustrations still decorate my dreams. "

" Brief and juvenile, but that's the general goal for these kinds of books. Illustrations were very good, and you got the heart and soul of the original story. "

" Began reading this book to my children as a family read-aloud. I liked the book but the kids did not, so I haven't ever finished it. "

" Not the best version of the King Arthur tales. Soemtimes tedious. Reminded of mandatory reading from a high school or college lit class. "

" I need to read this again. I don't think I got enough out of it the first time. "

" Great simplified retelling of King Arthur stories. "

" Doesn't even include Lancelot - not worth the time "

" More accessible than reading Malory directly, but retains the feel of a medieval romantic ballad. A great source for the Arthurian tales. "

" Some of the King Arthur books put me to sleep and seem to involve just basic accounts of the loping of heads. This one I really liked, so far I think that it's my favorite. Plus the edition I had, had some very fun old illustrations in it by Darrell Sweet. "

" Reading out loud with Porter for school. "

" This is a fun romp through Arthurian legend. The writing is faux Middle English, which is fun at times but can also annoy. The stories are mostly pretty shallow but it is what it is. "

" My 5 yr old son who loves to build his own swords and sheaths loved this book. We enjoyed the stories of excalibur and how Arthur became king. The nice thing about this series is that there are illustrations on every other page. ;-) "

" Well, actually this is fine book. But don't wish a detailed story from this book. "

" love this story. read it when i was in my teens in school and i'm going to have to buy the book to read it again :]. "

" this is a verrry boring book ive read it a few times trying to get some sense out of it but its impossible "

" This is another great classic that my daughter Gerilyn and I have been reading together. Although Geriyn and I often butt heads during the day, I hope our mutual love of books brings us back together in the evening. "

" I can't get enough of the Arthurian Legend. "

" This book was a quick read with not that many hard words. Every few chapters is like another story. "

" I am really enjoying the stories. The language is much higher than the young adult novels I usually am reading for school, but I really like it. This is the one that I am reading during the reading time I give my students at school. "

" good children G rated stories about king Arthur and a few of his Knights. Very different and better than the Once an Future king. The nce and Future King starts out rated G with The Sword in the Stone but then gets a little racier PG13 and up in the next two books. Anyway this one was good. :) "
