FROM THE PUBLISHER
First published in 1880, The Boy's King Arthur was edited by the American poet Sidney Lanier from Sir Thomas Malory's history of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Lanier said of the Malory work, "I suspect there are few books in our language which lead a reader - whether young or old - on from one paragraph to another with such strong and yet quiet seduction as this."
