| Summary |
"The Boy's King Arthur" by Sir Thomas Malory is a collection of tales from Arthurian legend, written in the late 19th century. This edited version for young readers retains the adventures of King Arthur and key knights of the Round Table, such as Sir Lancelot, Sir Gareth, and Sir Tristram, presenting their chivalric quests and trials in a manner suitable for a younger audience. The stories explore themes of honor, bravery, and the quest for the Holy Grail. At the start of this work, we are introduced to the origins of King Arthur, detailing his secretive upbringing and eventual rise to kingship after pulling the sword from the stone. The narrative reveals how Arthur, initially unaware of his royal blood, is chosen by divine providence to unite the kingdom after the death of Uther Pendragon. As Arthur becomes king, the foundation of the Round Table is laid, symbolizing the camaraderie and noble pursuits of his knights, setting the stage for epic adventures that will unfold throughout the book.
