Part of our Read-a-Thon 2010 highlight posts.

We’ve already touched on historical fiction in a previous post, but this time I want to highlight some of my personal favorites—books which are of a more swashbuckling sort and include castles.

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights

First off we have Howard Pyle’s “King Arthur books.” These are my favorite renditions of the classic Arthurian legends. There are four books in all: The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, The Story of the Champions of the Round Table, The Story of Sir Launcelot and His Companions, and The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur. We have the first two books reviewed here on Incredibooks.
