The Kitchen Knight: A Tale of King Arthur

First Edition, First Printing. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Beautifully illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman throughout. Glossy pictorial boards. White endpapers. A story based on the first part of "The Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney" as related by Malory, this Arthurian tale of a knightly quest undertaken by a young man whose mettle and noble birth are revealed along the way. With her unique ability to interpret and extend a text, Hyman continues to be an illustrator par excellence: these illustrations have her usual narrative power, incisive characterizations, and beguiling settings....a grand tale in a handsome edition."
