| Summary |
"King Arthur and His Knights" by Maude Radford Warren is a collection of retellings of Arthurian legends written in the early 20th century. The book explores the stories surrounding the legendary figure of King Arthur, his rise to the throne, and the adventures of his noble knights, such as Sir Lancelot and Sir Gareth. Central to these tales are themes of bravery, chivalry, and the pursuit of justice, with Arthur as the epitome of a noble ruler. The opening portion of the narrative introduces the young Arthur, who lives a humble life with Sir Hector, unaware of his royal lineage. As tensions rise in England due to a power struggle among lords after the death of King Uther, the wise magician Merlin devises a plan to reveal the true king by placing a sword in a stone. The story follows Arthur's unexpected discovery of his heritage as he pulls the sword from the stone, which marks the beginning of his journey to becoming king. This sets up the larger myths and adventures that will unfold as Arthur seeks to establish peace and justice in his kingdom, supported by his loyal knights and guided by Merlin's wisdom.
