As far as a collection of tales about King Arthur, I think this one was a very good one for young readers. The stories are fairly simple and engaging.

text King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table
An easily accessible version of Le Morte d'Arthur (which the author openly admits was his main source).Also includes a few of the French Romances and Mabinogion stories.He's put them into a chronological order, and all the tales you'd expect are there.

Some of the mythology was a little oddly interpreted, but then, I can say that about pretty much any mythology book. I enjoyed Green's writing, and I liked the number of separate myths represented here.It's not my favorite book of the subject, but it's good.
