The creators of the Caldecott Medal book, Saint George and the Dragon, tell the Arthurian tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney’s first adventure.
The Knights of the Round Table were in their glory. When an unknown stranger visits the castleand asks Kin Arthur’s favor, he is allowed to serve in the kitchen for hismeat and bread.
Little does anyone suspect that he is ofnobleblood and will soon be knighted by the famous Sir Lancelot. Lush illustrations bring the reader into the book, as Sir Gareth meets adventures and battles to free a princess from the fearsome RedKnightof the Plain.
Based on an excerpt from Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur andin consultation with both the famous Caxton and Winchester texts, thisenduring story of gallant knights in armor, epic battles, and quests fulfilled has broad appeal for young adventurers.
