As a lad of only sixteen years, Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and thus became High King of all Britain. But scarcely has he begun to arrange his court when twelve of the country's lesser kings, jealous of Arthur's glory, declare war on him. Culminating in the Battle of Bedegraine, war is fateful in more ways than one - for not only does it secure Arthur's place among his people, it also unites his destiny with that Lady Guinevere. In this, the second volume of his Tales of King Arthur series, Hudson Talbott masterfully retells the saga of Arthur's early days as leader of Britain, his building of Camelot, and the dedication of the Round Table - a unique brotherhood of knights devoted to unity and peace. Hudson Talbott's thrilling next and dazzling paintings bring this tale of heroism, romance, and pageantry to life. The scenes of daring battle and the splendor of Arthur's court are reproduced here in glorious full color for readers to turn to again and again.
