clarylovesbooks's review against another edition
4.0
This book was an easy read in terms of writing style, super simple and quick; at the same time, the narration was so plain that it made the reading experience quite boring and dull. My advise is to think about this book not as a novel, but more as an encyclopedic work about everything you need to know about Arthurian legends, and I'm really happy to have discovered this book because now I have a more broader knowledge of these legends and these characters. It was really an amazing esperience to read the source book that inspired so many rewritings, novels and movies, and it's crazy to think how these stories are so loved even in modern and contemporary times.

Although this has always been one of my favorite stories, I never got aroud to reading the original. It somewhat differs from what is generally portrayed in movies and such, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This illustrated junior library edition has beautiful illustrations -as its name indicates- that made the reading even more enjoyable.
On the other hand, the one thing that kept bothering me through the entire book was the indisciminate, annoying and amateurish use of the words "and" and "then", particularly at the beginning of both paragraphs and sentences.
