The Story of King Arthur and his Knights retold by Howard Pyles, is an amazing book.  When I got the book I wasn’t very thrilled, but from the moment I started reading I just couldn’t stop. The book’s main character is King Arthur. The first chapter of the first story talks about how Arthur pulls the sword out of the stone.  They had this sword-pulling competition three more times to see if Arthur really was the true king of Camelot.   Full of adventure, this story is told in thorough detail.  It feels like Howard Pyle takes you to the time of Camelot.  The author also teaches various lessons through the stories, which can cause the reader to  reflect on their own life.story, including you, would realize that they too may succeed in things they try.  They need only passionately pull the sword of their dreams out from the solid Iron of their situation.  Think about that won’t you as the story continues.”  Once I heard that, I was touched.  This is one of the few books that changed my life and I really enjoyed it, as I hope you will too!
