| Summary | "Tales from Tennyson" by Molly K. Bellew is a collection of retellings of the works by the famous English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, written in the early 20th century. The book transforms Tennyson’s iconic poems, particularly those from "Idylls of the King," into prose narratives that appeal to a younger audience. Each tale highlights the legendary King Arthur and chronicles the adventures of his Knights of the Round Table, exploring themes of chivalry, honor, and romance. The opening of the collection sets the stage for the legendary tales of King Arthur by recounting the story of his ascension to the throne and the deep love he develops for Princess Guinevere. Born of uncertain lineage, Arthur faces doubt and challenges from rebellious nobles but successfully unites the fragmented kingdoms of England against external threats. The narrative introduces key characters, including the wise wizard Merlin and the beautiful Guinevere, while establishing the backdrop of valor and adventure that will permeate the rest of the stories. This blend of fantasy, history, and morality offers a rich and engaging introduction for readers who may be unfamiliar with Tennyson’s original works. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
