King Arthur, Excalibur Unsheathed, by Jeff Limke and Thomas Yeates, is an English legend made into a book. Young Arthur spends his days as a squire - feeding the horses and caring for his big brother's armor. Around him is England left without a king. But all this is going to change in one day, when Arthur pulls a mysterious sword out of the stone. This book is about Arthur's life.
The main character is Arthur. He receives the sword Excalibur and wins loyalty of the knights of the round table.
Arthur's friend is Merlin the magician. He guides Arthur on how to be a good and wise king.
I enjoyed reading King Arthur, Excalibur Unsheathed. This book is the first English legend I read. When reading this book the one question I had was if the young king could win peace and freedom for England.
The reading strategy I used when reading this book was summarizing. Reading strategies, such as connecting and making mental images, are useful when reading a book because they help the reader understand the book better.
