Silver Penny Stories: King Arthur and His Knights

The daring and bold adventures of King Arthur told for children growing in reading confidence and ability. When Arthur pulls a sword from a stone, he is proclaimed King of Britain. However many challenges lie ahead, including treacherous knights, a mysterious lady in a lake and a fight for his kingdom.

When Bizzy Bear arrives at the castle, the King and Queen set about getting him properly kitted out: he is given a helmet to try on, and a sword to practice with - and even his own horse! In no time at all, Bizzy is at the pageant and getting stuck into some real jousting! A lavish, medieval banquet is the perfect end to a very, very busy day.

A comic-strip re-telling of some of Britain's best-loved Arthurian stories and legends.

This latest addition to our successful series offers a new selection of myths, featuring Arthur's knights of the round table, his love for Queen Guinevere and, of course, the ultimate betrayal by his friend, and most trusted knight, Sir Launcelot.

From the sword in the stone and the founding of Camelot to the famed Knights of the Round Table and the Lake of Enchantment, the legend of King Arthur endures. All the classic stories-including King Arthur's marriage to Guinevere and Merlin's tragic downfall at the hands of his enemy, Vivien-are included in this vibrant retelling.
