Excerpt from The Court of King Arthur: Stories From the Land of the Round TableThere were the makers of those wonderful stories called the Mabinogion, which Lady Charlotte Guest has let us look over her boys' shoulders to read. If every mother could make such a gift to her children as this of Lady Charlotte Guest's, how rich the world would be! Sometimes as I rewrote the stories that she has rewritten, I could scarcely help using her very words, because it seemed that to use any other words than hers would hurt the story. And of all who have written of King Arthur the greatest is Lord Tennyson. NO one who writes of the Round Table now can say just how much of the Spirit of his stories he owes to him. It is easy for us to go back to the older books and to think that we are reading them and learning all that is in them for ourselves, but, whether we know it or not, we are always reading them by the light that he has given us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
