Stories best of King Arthur and His Knights 1965 Barbara Leonie Picard Illustrated Beautiful Rare

Foxing on best outside and minor wear and tear. Please see my feedback rating!

Twenty-seven stories of King Arthur. The stories here really do draw you in, as there is more dialogue, and the characters come to life. The volume itself has some beautiful woodcut illustrations by Roy Wood and the type set is exquisite to the eye. They don't seem to make books like these anymore. The prose flows beautifully, capturing the feel of the sources: Malory, the Pearl Poet, the Mabinogion etc., However, the book is aimed directly at readers that are perhaps in early middle school (so please be warned that many of the adult themes are sidestepped). If you have read C.S. Lewis's Narnian series, then you have the feel of this book.
