Of Swords and Sorcerers: The Adventures of King Arthur and His Knights by Margaret Hodges and Margery Everden - I've had this book on the shelf for ages and decided this year to dust it off and read it during our fairy tale time. These tales are adapted from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, the Mabinogion, and tales by Howard Pyle. We enjoyed them greatly, including First Son who was coincidentally reading Bulfinch's version of King Arthur's tales at the same time. Be aware there are rather obvious references to Guinevere and Lancelot's dalliances as well as his evening spent with a woman not his wife who consequently gave birth to his son. My kids know that children can be born after people behave together as if they are married even if they are not, so I just read it and kept on going.
