The Story of King Arthur & His Knights (Classic Starts) Hardcover – March 28, 2006

Love this story & the kids stay entertained too. Good for 5y+ reader

My daughter and I have read this book aloud as we study medieval history.

The whole series of Classic Starts is extremely well written for young readers. My son loves it so much that he is hooked on to classics. I am indeed thankful for these versions and how they can provide an abridged versions of such voluminous works to one that catches a young reader's interest. I recommend the whole series of Classic Starts to all children who want a head start into classic reads.

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.

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.

I got this for a 10 year old and he devoured it. It covers the story of Arthur in a way that is easy for 10 year old, but not overly simplistic. Great tone and pace. All of these "Classic Starts" books introduce kids to some of the all time great stories in an interesting way.

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.
