This book has a lovely and dual usage, as both a beautifully illustrated book of days and an excellent beginner's guide to the primary Arthurian legends. It's easily accessible for neophytes who want to grasp the main legends before moving onward to more daunting texts, such as Malory. It's also a practical and attractive tool for daily utilization, each day corresponding to a specific Arthurian episode in the mythos. Highly recommended.

A beautifully done book retelling the Arthurian legends. The tales are broken into short segments and spaced out throughout the calendar year. They can be read by day or following the glossary in the back read in an order that completes the stories all at once. The pictures in this book are gorgeous as are the pages themselves. Anyone fond of the tales of King Arthur and his knights will love this book.

I love the concept behind this book, but the execution fell flat.

I tried very hard to read this in the daily dose it's written in, but I often found myself forgetting and reading a week's worth or so in one go to catch up. either way, it was a good system. I love all things Arthurian and this book was no exception. It's a clever format and tells all the great tales of Arthur and his Court. One can even follow individual shorelines that don't necessarily go chronologically or day-to-day. I highly recommend this book for any Arthur nerd.
