I loved this story. The sword and the stone is one of my all time favorite stories. It just shows that you can be the most unlikely person and still be the best person for the job. I love all of the magic and the old English setting. I would love to share this with students of all ages as young students would like it and it would be a great introduction into the literature that is "Knights of the Round Table" for older students. I would love to have this book in a future classroom library.
I really love the ending to this book, it makes the book worth reading. I think this book would make smaller children feel like they too can do something that requires great strength. This book is a reminder to me that sometimes when we are patient, in the end we get what we deserve just like Arthur did.
This is another version of the story of King Arthur when he finds the sword. I like this version because it shows how he actually became king and got the sword out of the stone. This is a good one to use with a unit about midevil England or legends.
