A review by blueeyedshook
Idylls of the King by Alfred Tennyson

4.0

“Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer / Than this world dreams of." What a beautiful classic story. I actually read this with my teen son as he had to read it for school and I had never read an entire book by Tennyson or on King Arthur. It seemed like the perfect opportunity. Plus I could help him as he read the rhythms and words that he didn't fully understand on his own. And the best review I can give is that he was the one who brought the book to me to continue reading. Of course, he didn't enjoy the romantic portions as much as I did, and while he might not admit that he enjoyed it at all, I noticed how much he paid attention and how much he understood and when he laughed or reacted. That made my heart love the book all the more.
