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. As a person who doesn't really like violence, the stories were not that interesting to me personally. I thought most of the knights were very silly a...
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.
Pamiętam jak musiałam ją przeczytać w podstawówce, ze względu na jakiś konkurs. Nie podobała mi się, ale kto wie? Może znowu sięgnę po tą książkę i się do niej przekonam?
A knight leaves King Arthur's court, meets another knight, gets insulted very quickly over nothing and chops off the other knight's head. Rinse, repeat.

Of course the chapters are very episodic and fragmental as a consequence of the original material, but Green manages fairly good. There's a great sense of conti...
Long, dry, complex sentences make what would be kick-ass stories tedious and difficult to follow. The Egyptian take on The Iliad was particularly interesting.
I've read several versions of the classic Robin Hood story - at least four not including this one, and maybe one or two more. I've loved Robin Hood since I was about six or seven years old and watched the Disney, and honestly I've never come across a version that I disliked. No matter what they do t...
Unlike some literary criticism, this book was fun to read. Instead of getting bogged down in tedious interpretation debates, Green simply tells the story of space travel in science fiction with just a touch of humor. He mentions works that are quite forgotten. In addition, there is a section at t...
