Merlin and the Making of the King retold by Margaret Hodges illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman*

 Ms. Hodges retells three Arthur legends from the old Winchester manuscript. The three legends are tailored so younger children can comprehend them. The illustrations are lavish and rich. I especially relished the borders.

Warning for sensitive younger readers: The violence is still intense. The illustrations still depict blood and demise.

*Highly recommend for adventurous boys but seeing warning. 

-Borrowed from the library.
