Lovely anachronism-rich story of the childhood of King Arthur. | |
My daughter recommends this version because of the gorgeous illustrations by Dennis Nolan After the first appearance of an anachronism -- is it the mention of "Red Indians" near page 5?, my daughter leapt upon other chronological inconsistencies. And, well, those last words -- daughter just roared with amusement. Any version of this book is recommended, but if you can, try to find this one and take a look at page 96, "'I could be a hawk in Hob's mews,' said the Wart stoutly." Soooo cute | |
