Synopsis
To protect his life, Arthur, son of King Uther, was hidden from the court when still a baby. Growing up in Sir Ector's household, Arthur knew nothing of his noble birth. Then one day at a tournament, he forgot to bring a sword for his brother, Kay. Looking for a replacement, Arthur saw a strange sword plunged into a stone. From the moment he released the famous sword he assumed his destiny as the rightful King of England. But there were still battles to be fought, and with Merlin's help and the famous Excalibur at his side, Arthur established a reign of nobility, justice, and wisdom whose fame has lasted to the present day.

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5. Through the eyes of San Souci and Henterly, Young Guinevere (1993), Young Lancelot (1996, both Doubleday), and now Arthur grow to promising adulthood in the years before Camelot. Smoothly and with engaging simplicity, San Souci spins the beginnings of Arthur's life from his birth foretold in the stars to the first victorious battle in which he wields Excalibur. There is an easy mix of magic, idealism, and the flesh and bone of heroes. Henterly's lavish color illustrations are riveting. The image of Arthur on the cover, with his piercing blue eyes, is magnetic. From the opening pages in which a fiery dragon shape is seen in the stars over Stonehenge, the artist blends the romance and solidity of medieval England. Decorative borders on backgrounds mottled like parchment set off the full- and double-page paintings. The effect is luxurious. San Souci's source note credits Tennyson, Andrew Lang, and Howard Pyle among others. While the language is spare and accessible to younger readers, this book should attract older browsers. A worthwhile addition to the body of recent work that keeps the legend fresh.?Sally Margolis, formerly at Deerfield Public Library, IL
