From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Excellent. Even for adults this version has a lot to recommend it - Green orders the stories so they have a tighter chronological and thematic sequence, and also streamlines everything so it's easier to keep track of where things are going. The stories aren't overly sanitized, while remaining appropriate for young kids."; "A wonderful, joyous read. Writing that captures the epic flavor whilst still in a fluent easy style. I read this as a child and it totally captured my imagination. Coming back to it as an adult I didn't dare hope that the magic would still be there but it had not faded one iota. A mesmerizing and captivating read for anyone with any romance and imagination in their soul."; "Top-notch. I read this to my children as bedtime reading, and they found it captivating: sometimes it left them thrilled; sometimes it left them pondering the story's emotional and moral dilemmas; and occasionally it left them a bit scared. My children's imaginations were powerfully kindled by this retelling; I found it a delight myself."; "Very well-written account of the stories of King Arthur. I have yet to find a version that matches that of Roger Lancelyn Green."
