The King Arthur
Trilogy is a fantasy/medieval series by Rosemary Sutcliffe. The series consists
of three books, ‘The Sword and the Circle’, ‘The Light Beyond the Forest’, and
‘The Road to Camlann’. The stories are based around the Arthurian legends, and
retells what may have happened in the lead-up to Arthur’s life, and what
happens during Arthur’s life.
I believe that
the book is appropriate for ages 12+, because the majority of scenes which would be
deemed inappropriate for a child are skillfully written in a way which isn't as
visual.
Rosemary has
retold this story well, and I personally love the difference from the dialogue
in the story to how people would speak today, it’s archaic, but easy to
understand.
Overall I definitely enjoyed this classic retelling of the Arthur story, and would recommend it to anyone who’s interested in fantasy stories.

Thanks Allyssa for a great review! The
library also has copies of other books about King Arthur as books and eBooks.
Come into the library and ask about them! - Mrs Lansdown
