This is a faithful, traditional retelling of the King Arthur stories. The main difference between this and the older standards is that the language is more modern. It compares well with Howard Pyle, just a different style.
Sequels are:
The Light Beyond the Forest (1979)
and The Road to Camlann (1981)
