Se trata de la historia del rey Arturo reescrita por el autor del siglo XX Roger L. Green a partir de 23 leyendas que él recoge y organiza en una novela completa, especialmente dirigida a niños y jóvenes. Pero quizás el más destacable valor de esta edición sean los magníficos grabados del influyente dibujante modernista Aubrey Beardsley, xilografías especialmente resaltadas en una hermosa edición de gran formato.
