Suzanne Shell, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Story of King Arthur and his Knights" by Howard Pyle is a historical fiction written in the late 19th century. This work reimagines the legendary tales of King Arthur, his rise to power, and the noble knights of the Round Table. At its center is Arthur, a young man destined to become king, who is thrust into a series of adventures that will test his character and valor. The opening of the book sets the stage with a foreword filled with admiration for the noble ideals of chivalry personified by King Arthur and his knights. It recounts Uther-Pendragon's reign and the prophecy surrounding the birth of Arthur, emphasizing his royal lineage and the dangers he faced as a child. As the narrative unfolds, Arthur is summoned to London, where he unwittingly pulls the great sword from the anvil, a feat that reveals his identity as the rightful king. This dramatic moment not only showcases Arthur's inherent nobility but also establishes the central conflict of his claim to the throne and the skepticism he faces from established rulers. Thus, the foundation is laid for Arthur's journey towards kingship and the adventurous tales that will ensue. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 70.6 (7th grade).
