| Synopsis: |
This book is to tell some of the stories of King Arthur and his Knights in a way which will be interesting to every boy and girl who loves adventures. In this book, besides reading of wonderful adventures and brave fighting, you will learn just what sort of man a perfect knight was required to be in the chivalrous times when men wore armor and rode on errantry. The duties of a 'good and faithful knight' were quite simple, but they were often very hard to perform. They were-to protect the distressed, to speak the truth, to keep his word to all, to be courteous and gentle to women, to defend right against might, and to do or say nothing that should sully the fair name of knighthood. - HENRY GILBERT. June 1911. |
