The Tales Of king Arthur is a great book. It is a action paked book. It gives from the begging of King Arthurs life to the end. It is one of the best books I'v ever read. It has great details. The book also has storys of the voyages of his men. It even has the story of the Round Table. The chapters are divided exactly the why they should be. They are very percice. They tell some storys that arn't ever told. It is a book that talks mainly about the Folk hero. Also about how he helps the U.K. come back to life. I would highly recomend that childern from the ages of 10 to 14 should read this book. Specily if you like a book that is action paked. This is one of the best books I'v ever read and I would think that you would also like this Book. Tales of king Arthur.

It starts off with the birth of a soon to be king,Arthur. The book tells about Arthur,his life, and it told how he died. I think Howard Pyle is a great writer. I wrote this review as a responce to the book

This is a wonderful introduction to the legend of Arthur. The story is told in a nice, straightforward way that doesn't interfere with the wonderful drawings. There's enough detail in the drawings to entertain an older artist, but not so much that a younger person will get frustrated trying to color.

Kevin Harty's 'King Arthur on Film' is the best book available on the subject. This book updates information originally presented in Harty's 'Cinema Arthuriana' in addition to a series of essays original to this volume. The articles included in this collection focus on Connecticut Yankee films; Arthurian cartoons; and Merlin, Morgan le Fay, Tristan, and the Grail in Arthurian film.

This King Arthur's Death book contains two versions of the story. The first is Morte Arthure which is an alliterative version, while the second, Le Morte Arthur is stanzaic (rhymed). Neither are Malory's Morte D'Arthure, although he used these as his sources. And especially good fare for fans of the round table.

This is a really fascinating book.

King Arthur is a good name to drop, but this is far from just another of those 'what happened in Dark Age Britain' books.

Dr Cummins looks at the build-up of legend around the character of King Arthur in various versions of the tale, and notices several distinct characters emerging. Many books have noted these different elements referring to a warlord's resistance to the Saxon invasion of Britain (in the late 5th century), and to 'Arthurs' invasion of France (thought to refer to Magnus Maxentius aka Guy of Warwick in the early 4th century). Adrian Gilbert calls them Arthur 1 and Arthur 2 in 'The Holy Kingdom'.

Cummins then investigates the third element which sits uneasily with these two - the Arthur who presides over a golden age of peace & prosperity, and is buried at Stonehenge. He points out how vague history can be in a non-literate society: people remember that some king was specially great, they remember names and spectacular achievements, but without books and calendars people have no way of remembering dates or even eras. Very often locations become just names unless there is some special monument which can be identified (ancient kingdoms were so often named after kings and tribes who came and went, soon forgotten, with fluid borders)

Could this third element of 'the great king' reveal an even more ancient memory of a prehistoric golden age? Dr Cummins allows himself speculation beyond the hard facts of archaeology, but does not resort to silly fantasies. There was clearly a rich and sophisticated society in southern England more than three thousand years ago - the only traces of which is are the burial mounds and stone monuments - Stonehenge, Avebury, etc.

Cummins points out the sophistication of prehistoric (ie. pre-Roman) societies, the details of which have been lost because their material culture was almost entirely perishable (over the three thousand years which separate us from them). They wrote nothing about themselves, and the literate Romans wrote nothing good about what was left of the ancient societies taken into their empire. Only the Greeks were writing early enough to record anything of ancient Western Europe, and Cummins traces tenuous links between ancient Greeks and Britain.

He does not suggest that Stonehenge was an alien imposition by Greeks on a savage society. Indeed, his portrait of ancient Wessex suggests that the reason that such monuments seem impossible for their time is because we underestimate ancient societies so badly. The lack of iron does not condemn a people to a brutish 'caveman' existence: societies can be rich in culture, lifestyle and organization without leaving visible traces of these. We should be thinking of the glories of Solomon, not of the Flintstones.

From the monuments left to us, from place-names, references in later texts and from the mysterious, timeless tales of Arthur, Cummins traces out a possible character of a great king of the second millennium BC, Ambrius (in all his glory), whose kingdom was wealthy enough to build Stonehenge (or rather reconstruct it) whose architect was perhaps a prototype Merlin.

The Fabulous Journey of Life

" Whoever pulleth out this sword from stone and anvil is the right-wise king of all England" and so, this begins the great legend of King Arthur. In this page turning book, The Knights of the Round Table by: Enid Blyton, readers find various stages of excitement. Many of these exciting points are found in the story, "Sir Galahad and the Quest of the Holy Grail." One of the exciting parts readers will read is, when the war is going on in the castle of the three evil brothers. This is exciting because you can't guess what is going to happen. Another exciting part is found in the " Quest of Excaliber." In this story Merlin, Arthur's trusty friend, helps him find a sword because Arthur's broke in his last battle.
Various signs of uniqueness are shown throughout his book. I think that the most unique part of the story was how it was narrated. The author writes the book so it has certain suspense to it. The book is written in third person and the author occasionally uses dialog. Throughout the book the author uses past tense and future test.
I recommend this book for eleven year olds because, it is a fairly easy read. Also, for people who are interested in the King Arthur story because, it gives the basics of King Arthur out.

This book edited by Richard T. W. Arthur is definitely a great contribution to the study of Leibniz's philosophy. I use it to prepare my Ph.D project in Philosophy. In this selections we can find one of the most dificulty and interesting problem of the german philosopher in the philosophy of physics and matematics, i. e., the problem of the continuum: in word of Leibniz "the problem of the labyrinth". The selection embrace texts from 1672 to 1686. Although the editor include the original latin texts and a good english translation, the reader must be aware of some problem with the edition. There are some errors in the latin, to many for a prestigious editorial, like Yale University Press. Furthermore the Introduction by T. W. Arthur is in my opinion too arbitrary in the explanation of the diferent solutions from Leibniz to the problem of the continuum.
But, in general, a good book for anyone who is interested in the philosophy of Leibniz. And the most important aspect of the book is that the reader can have in one volume a series of the most representative texts about the "labyrinth" that were not before compiled and are here finally accessible. Besides the editor include a good bibliography in the Introduction and all the texts are cited in accord with the Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften (in charge of the complete works of Leibniz).

When Alan MacDougall's brother disappears during a visit to the Scottish Highlands, Alan goes off to investigate. Finding an unknown, ancient broch, Alan discovers that it contains four gates to another world. This is the world of Tartarus, built by Lucifer for the daughters of Lilith, but now populated by the people who served him on Earth, and by the gods of the Celtic pantheon. There is a prophesy that someone will come through a gate, and lead everyone back to Earth, so all eyes turn in Alan's direction. But Alan knows that anyone journeying from Tartarus to Earth will quickly wither to a ghost. And, only Alan can see Lucifer's lieutenant, Ahriman, who seems to be playing this world for a purpose beyond anyone's understanding

Lloyd Arthur Eshbach is something of an old hand in the world of Science Fiction and Fantasy, having published his first book in 1929. Therefore, it is not surprising that this book has the feel of older fiction. There are deus ex machinas that pull the hero through each crisis, and the villains are something less than terrifying. That said, though, this is a great book. The author spins a fascinating tale, impregnated with a mystery that I now wish to unravel. Also, I must admit that I did like the way that he incorporated the Celtic pantheon into the story.

So, let me say that this is a very interesting story, a very good one (though not a great one) that I highly recommend.
