Tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Bound
Table. By Margaret Vere Farrington. (G. P. Putnam's Sons )—Miss Far- rington gives in a brief introduction a summary of the little that is known and the much that is guessed about the great British hero. She might have added to what she calls "probably true,"
that this hero fought the victorious battle of Radon Hill that checked for a while the tide of West English conquest. A first chapter speaks of the " Knights of Old," and says something about chivalry. After this we come to the familiar stories of the "Knights of the Bound Table," to Sir Gawaine and Sir Lancelot, and the other familiar figures. The author has done her task well, and the illustrators, "Alfred Fredericks, and others," have helped her to make a volume worthy of the subject.
