5.0 out of 5 stars Jousting, giants and wizards

I love the stories of King Arthur, it draws me into another age. Love all the random strange things that happen (isn't it perfectly normal for giants to guard bridges and to joust any passing Knight you meet?) The chapters are nice and short so I can read one or two before bed.

Bought to cheer myself up as I couldn't go to Aubrey Beardsley exhibition at Tate Britain. COVID 19 time. Beautiful book. Artwork heavily influenced by Burne Jones but with a Beardsley twist. Fabulous. Lovely binding too.

I took a chance at getting a used one, I got very lucky it wasn't badly damaged. Just minor tiny scratches but all pages are intact and no writing or highlighting damages at all. For the price I paid (half the original price) I'd say it was a great bargain. The book cover and illustrations are beautiful and very detailed. If you don't want to chance it with getting a second hand version of this book, I really advise you to get it brand new. As it is worth the price and a must have for every medieval enthusiast. A very great story to read!
