King Arthur — Benjamin Hulme-Cross

Arthur has no thoughts of being king - he's a squire and that's that. But the old king is dead and Merlin the wizard has set up a sword, pushed halfway into a rock. The one who pulls out the sword will be the new king - and soon, that's Arthur! Follow King Arthur as he battles giants and knights, and learns to be a true king.
