King Arthur
Excalibur Unsheathed [An English Legend]
From the Series Graphic Myths and Legends
Young Arthur spends his days toiling as a squire—feeding the horses and hauling his big brother’s armor. Around him, England is in turmoil, left without a king. But all that changes in one day, with one pull on the mysterious sword in the stone. Guided by Merlin the Magician, Arthur takes his place as the rightful heir to England’s throne. He receives the sword Excalibur and wins the loyalty of the Knights of the Round Table. But can the young king win peace and freedom for England?
