We are studying the Middle Ages now and I am struggling to find a good book about King Arthur that doesn't have all the sorcery and immorality that I've heard that even the classics do. I've always been fascinated about knights and princesses and King Arthur and the Round Table but never have read any books myself.
I read somewhere that STephen Lawhead has some books about this time period, but according the reviews on Amazon, they are Christianized. I'm not sure that this is what I'm looking for either. I'd like to find one that's truthful but sparing the unnecessary details. So many books are being compared to CS Lewis and Tolkien in the Christian world and from flipping through some of them, they don't even come CLOSE to being the literary classic that those are.
But my children are devouring books and I can't keep up with them. I'd like to give books to read that relate to our time period that would keep them occupied and learning and enjoying. I just don't have the time to pre-read all of them, so I come here! I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions.
Blessings,
Betty
