This book is to tell some of the stories of King Arthur and his Knights
in a way which will be interesting to every boy and girl who loves
adventures. In this book, besides reading of wonderful adventures and
brave fighting, you will learn just what sort of man a perfect knight
was required to be in the chivalrous times when men wore armor and rode
on errantry. The duties of a 'good and faithful knight' were quite
simple, but they were often very hard to perform. They were-to protect
the distressed, to speak the truth, to keep his word to all, to be
courteous and gentle to women, to defend right against might, and to do
or say nothing that should sully the fair name of knighthood.
