My Reading Journal 7 H組 陳宜平

       I had finished the book-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,and this time I choose another book-Knights of the Round Table.This book is about 110 pages,adapted by Gwen Gross,and illustated by Norman Green.Gwen Gross is a freelance writer and editor.She began reading the tales of King Arthur as a child,and as research or Knight of the round table she read almost every book on the subject,from the earliest medieval versions to the most recent.She is married and lives in New York City with her 2 childen.
       There are many tales of a wonderful king named Arthur.And of the brave knights of Round Table.The tales are very old,they have been told by many different storytellers in many different lands,and each told the stories in his own special way.Arthur,who ruled in England about fifteen hundred years ago.He won many battles.And he was a king no one could forget.
      The whole book explains and discusses the adventure of Round Table,included the life of King Arthur,the story of merlin...etc.And Merlin is the crucial person in the story.He is the teacher,abecedarian,adviser,friend and subordinate of Arthur,and Arthur guide the Round Table to complete the mission.The book starts from the birth of Arthur,and the process that how Arthur becomes the King,and narrate the Roun Table.In the end,Arthurwins the last battle and gets on the boat,disappeareing in the mist.The last words he says is:"I am going to a magic land.There I will be healed.Unless it si too late.But if England has need of me,I will come again."Some say Arthur died,some say he is sleeping an enchanted sleep,and some say he lives on in a land of mists and magic.And there will be a new kingdom of the good and the true.
