Tales of King Arthur: King Arthur and the Round Table (Books of Wonder) by Talbott, Hudson. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780688113407.

As a lad of only sixteen years, Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and thus became High King of all Britain. But scarcely has he begun to arrange his court when twelve of the countrys lesser kings, jealous of Arthurs glory, declare war on him. Culminating in the Battle of Bedegraine, this war is fateful in more ways than one--for not only does it secure Arthurs place among his people, it also unites his destiny with that of Lady Guinevere. In this, the second volume of his Tales of King Arthur series, Hudson Talbott masterfully retells the saga of Arthurs early days as leader of Britain, his building of Camelot, and the dedication of the Round Table--a unique brotherhood of knights devoted to unity and peace. Hudson Talbotts thrilling text and dazzling paintings bring this tale of heroism, romance, and pageantry to life. The scenes of daring battle and the splendor of Arthurs court are re, produced here in glorious full color for readers to turn to again and again.
