An enchanting take on the legend of King Arthur from War Horse author and former Children''s Laureate, Michael Morpurgo.Marooned on a sandbank, a boy faces certain death. With the sea closing in and the current about to drag him to a watery grave, his final wish is to see heaven. Waking in a strange bed, the boy meets an old man sitting by the fire with his dog. It is Arthur, the great warrior king of legend, and from his lips the boy hears of Camelot, chivalry, magic, evil and betrayal.Arthur, High King of Britain is a gripping historical adventure from the master storyteller of An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Shadow, and An Elephant in the Garden. Michael Morpurgo has written more than forty books and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children’s Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. Review: Brilliant and enlightening - I couldn't put the book down because it built on knowledge I already had about King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, Merlin, Sir Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table by filling in the gaps telling the story of Gawain and the Green Knight and of course Tristram and Isolde. I will be giving this book to my grandson.....at the moment he is reading Beowulf. This book is suitable for all ages even though it is written mainly for children. I like the way Morpurgo starts with a young boy getting lost and being found by Arthur and his dog who then go on to tell him about their adventures at Court. Review: Great story on two cassettes - Great story on two cassettes, but the ending leaves one hanging. I'm wondering if there are other stories that come after this that are part of this same storyline...?

A really good read!
Brilliant Michael Morpurgo book! My children and husband have thoroughly enjoyed readying. It's well written and puts all of those well know Arthurian legends (plus some we'd never heard of into one book!) It's been read and read again! Would certainly recommend to other Michael Morpurgo or Arthurian fans

An excellent retelling of all the King Arthur stories
An excellent retelling of all the King Arthur stories, as told by an elderly Arthur to a young boy. The hardback is printed on nice heavy paper and would make an excellent gift. My Year 4 (8-9 year old) daughter was sufficiently keen on this to bring it in to school as her reading book, impressing the teacher enough remark upon how advanced her reading was. All round, this book is a keeper for the next generation in 20-30 years time.
