The Story of King Arthur and His Knights
I loved this book! Before this year I had never read anything on King Arthur, and I wish that I had time to read more. The Story of King Arthur and His Knights is split into two books: The Book of King Arthur and The Book of Three Worthies. The first book, naturally, is all about King Arthur; his famous episode with the sword in the stone, how he won Excalibur, how he won the hand of Lady Guinevere, and much more. The second book is divided into three parts (The Story of Merlin, The Story of Sir Pellias, and The Story of Sir Gawaine) and the content is self-explanatory. This may not seem very exciting; however, I can honestly say that this was the best book that I have read all school year. Five stars!

Robin Hood
This book was pretty exciting, though I geuss that a book like that would have to be exciting! It was about Robin Hood (pretty obviously), and outlawed young man who went to live in Sherwood forest. Throughout his year of living there he got a band of men all very devoted to him, including the 7-foot tall Little John (his right hand man), and Friar Tuck, a friar who got to the group by a fight with Robin Hood, and a pretty funny river crossing. I liked it all!
