Publisher's Synopsis
These are the stories our ancestors told to explain how the world began; or they are the legends of half-remembered heroes and people whose lives were changed by magic. Brilliantly retold in the sparkling and inspirational words of the multiple award-winning and much-loved children's author, Geraldine McCaughrean, the tales will delight and entertain readers of all ages.
Together, KING ARTHUR AND A WORLD OF OTHER STORIES with its two companion volumes, ROBIN HOOD AND THE GOLDEN ARROW AND A WORLD OF OTHER STORIES and GEORGE AND THE DRAGON AND A WORLD OF OTHER STORIES, make a wonderful gift collection of classic tales from around the world - many of them unavailable anywhere else.
