Book Reviews of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Junior Classics)
Book Review: A Superficial Retelling of the Arthurian Legend
Summary: 3 Stars
Having read the other reviews, I feel as though I must offer a dissenting view. Most of the other reviewers enjoyed the way Benedict Flynn set out the whole King Arthur legend in an easy to follow narrative aimed at children. To do this, Flynn had to boil down the story to its most simple elements.
In my opinion, this reductionist approach is the wrong way to introduce young children to one of the great stories of Western Literature. It is better to cull out individual stories from the legend and present them with all their rich details. Good examples of this alternative approach are David Borgenicht's "The Legend of King Arthur" and Margaret Hodge's "The Kitchen Knight". I believe the best way to get children to love King Arthur is to hook them on great individual stories. When they are older, they will string these stories together themselves with more sophiticated retellings of the legend.
