Be aware, the 2016 hardcover version and the paperback 2008 version you see in the "look inside" are not the same books. My son fell in love with the older version we got at the library so much that we decided to order it. What came was a choppy comic book version lacking the rich story telling and the beautiful illustrations of the one we wanted. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME BOOKS! It's very deceiving to show one book and send something completely different. You have a very disappointed 5 year old on your hands.Product details

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights eBook George W Cox Reviews
I bought this book because I liked it as a child, and my children are of an age when they can appreciate it.
I won't discuss the story, because it's been done quite well by others...
My question about this book, is that is being marketed as unabridged. HOWEVER, on the copyright page, it clearly states "abridged by Tania Zamorksy", and the Summary begins with "An abridged version..."
So, is it abridged, or not? The link states it's unabridged, the reviews state it's unabridged - my picture matches their picture...so beware; you may want to find another copy that is truly unabridged.
But, it's a great story, so I gave it 4 stars!
This is a great book for children. Your child can be exposed to the King Arthur legends in simpler language than the original books. You can either read these aloud as bedtime stories or have your second through fourth grader read them on their own.
Good for an eight or nine year old (or older, depending on the child). My grandson loved reading it himself, but if you were reading it to your eight year old you might want to consider Pyle's version which this is Not. I thought it was. But it's a version of Pyle's version.
This is a medium size story book for kids with black and while illustrations the inking of which reminds me of the Marvel comic style.
The book has 21 chapters that cover the basic Arthurian saga. There are numerous pictures.
Color would have had a dramatic impact, but I like B&W movies as well. I think B&W is better suited to 1940's Warner Brothers and 1960's French movies.
Obviously a great read, it really tells the Truth of human nature. But, unfortunately, it's kind of a disposable book - I would be willing to pay more for a fine-quality collector volume, something leather-clad and built for the long haul, a truly permanent book. It's really considered a child's book, so what you're going to find there is CHEAP, Too bad!
I purchased this book because my 4 year old son is very interested in knights. I read this book to him, and my three year old daughter, a couple pages at a time and they loved it. The book is well written and I like that it does not dumb down the language. I had to explain what a couple words meant here and there but for the most part they understood. This turned or to be a great purchase.
I have been teaching for quite awhile now. In my important job, I was surprised to learn how many boys, now teenagers, had not read about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. So, I took it upon myself to start sharing this book with them. What a world it opened up! Soon after, they rented First Night, and have enjoyed that version of the story, too. Teach the Classics, parents and friends! They need to know these fantastic stories.
Be aware, the 2016 hardcover version and the paperback 2008 version you see in the "look inside" are not the same books. My son fell in love with the older version we got at the library so much that we decided to order it. What came was a choppy comic book version lacking the rich story telling and the beautiful illustrations of the one we wanted. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME BOOKS!
