Product Description:
This books is based on Sir Thomas Mallory's tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Author's Notes:
A consistent excuse in adapting from authors of long ago is that they in turn had borrowed from earlier writers. This is quite true. Sir Thomas Malory borrowed from one English poem and three lengthy French books of the thirteenth century.
He modernized his sources by reducing their oratorical qualities and simplifying and strengthening the ornate style and story lines. The Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkeney That Was Called Bewmaynes is considered one of the best examples, in Eugene Vinaver's words, "of the technique of a modern tale applied to medieval romance." Further, it exemplifies in a straightforward and colorful fashion Malory's ideas of chivalry. And it is a good story of adventure and romance.
So when I was thinking of a way to introduce young children to the delights of Arthurian legend, the story of Gareth seemed perfect. I have condensed the plot a bit and simplified the ending without, I hope, sacrificing the spirit, tone, and intent of the original. - Barbara Schiller
