An 19th Century Materpiece!
Sidney Lanier was perhaps the greatest poet produced by the South during the the 19th Century.His descriptions of the nature and the Georgian Marshes of Glen, as in "the slant yellow beam of the sun doth seemlike a lane from Heaven that leads to a dream..." and "beliefovermasters doubt and I know that I know..." are words that feed thesoul with the timeless nector of wisdom and humanity.I treasure this bookand any student of the American South and/or of American Poetry will findMr. Lanier's style of alliteration and assonance, together with hiswonderful imagery to be a feast for the soul in solitude. ...

Have it on your shelf if only for the pictures.
Well, I gave it a bit of a try, the Old English really doesn't suit me, but I will pursue it again later, so i may truly have the story "under my belt". The pictures make me wish I could enter them, N.C. Wyeth was a genius.

English people use fancy words that are out dated
Arthurian Supremacy
This book is broken down into seven smaller books.The titles are as follows, "King Arthur", " Sir Lancelot Du Lake", "Garneth of Orokearly", "Sir Tristram", Galahd Sir Percival and the quest for the holy Grail", "The Fair maid of Astolate" And "The death of Arthur".This novel contains all of the classic stories about Arthur and his knights.From the birth of Arthur to the fall of his kingdom, this book has it all.Sadly there are basically no changes to the story line at all which can be disappointing. I Personally do not recommend this book for new readers or people who like to fast read given that the old English context makes it confusing and hard to read The old context is kind of a two edged sword it is both confusing and interesting. This novel was written by N. V. Kilen

King Arthur and his Most Noble Knights
King Arthur's Noble knights
Sidney Lanier's re-telling of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table may appear confusing. However this story has the same original plot and theme of King Arthur weaved into the story. This book contains stories on the coming and passing of Arthur in the 6th century, King Arthur's most noble knights, and the quest for the Holly Grail.
Sidney Lanier's version tells more details then other novels ofKing Arthur. For instance, Lanier always describes what knights do when they traveling to a destination. He tells where the knights stop and sleep for the nights and what they eat the next morning.
Lastly, in my opinion this book should be read by adults who understand the meaning of words such as wrought, meseemeth, and wot. I did not enjoy reading this novel because of the complexity of the language.

The Story Of King Arthur and His Knights
N.C. Wyeth illustrated the book of "The Boy's King Arthur"in 1917. The Boy's King Arthur, is avout the top main knights such as, Lancelot, and how they become a knight. This story exists as part of the original King Arthur stories, but it becomes shorter than the original. Also in The Boys King Arthur, you will encounter how knights acted back in the fourth century.
The author of this story uses more details, and more unique, and unusual things than the original story. The battle with Mordred and Arthur at the end, I considered that to be an extremely unique fight, because Mordred becomes a traitor to his own father, Arthur. Unusually, N.C. Wyeth adds old English in the ways of back then in the story. The Narrator of The Boys King Arthur remains just an outsider of the story. The main setting of the novel places in England, and the themes of the novel, exists as just how peasents and people become the top Knights of the Round Table. (Lancelot, Tristram, Galahad, Percival, and the fair maid of Astolat) Also the story illustrates how King Arthur becomes King of England, And his death.
I recommend that people should read this book only if they're thirteen and up. Also I recommend that you should read The Boys King Arthur only if you read the original version of King Arthur. I say this because the book remains in old English, and might be quite hard to understand. I thought this book is quite hard to understand of the old English, and the length of the book with the old English.

Product Description
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Dutch thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Sidney Lanier, A Biography. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Dutch-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Dutch, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Dutch-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Dutch or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests.

This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site. ... Read more

Good book, bad formatting.
For $3 I probably shouldn't be complaining, but it would have been nice if the poetry excerpts in this book were formatted properly - i.e., with line breaks in the right places, instead of having entire stanzas mashed together as though they were paragraphs. ... Read more
