BR2-29: King Arthur

The myth of Arthur is one of the most famous and enduring British legends. Abducted as a baby by Merlin in the Magician, Arthur succeeds in extracting a magical sword from a stone and becomes King of England. He brings peace and prosperity to the troubled country and creates a new company of knights - the Round Table. But the love affair between his queen, Guinevere, and his best friend, Sir Lancelot to destroy his golden court at Camelot.
I read 'King Arthur.'  It is in Password Readers and written in American English. Password Reader has five levels, Beginner is A1: Breakthrough, Elementary is A2: Waystage, Pre-intermediate is B1: Threshold, Intermediate is B2: Vantage and Upper-intermediate is C1: Effective Operational Proficiency. King Arthur is A2: Waystage. The book has 2100 words and 3 settings and 12 chapters. The settings are A tournament, The round table and The last battle. The chapters are 1. The birth of Arthur, 2. The sword in the stone, 3. Camelot, 4. Guinevere and Morgana, 5. The round table, 6. Sir Lancelot, 7. Sir Tristan, 8. The Holy Grail, 9. Sir Preceval and Sir Galahad, 10. Guinevere and Lancelot, 11. Civil war and 12. The death of Arthur. Each of the beginning of chapters has a simple questions and each of the ending of chapters has simple questions too. But the ending of chapter's questions are more difficult than the beginning's ones. So I think the book looks like a text book which I used when I was a junior high school student. The ending of the book, there are many information about this story. For example, these are history about Britain and the Arthurian myth. In addition, there are many vocabulary, questions and crossword puzzles. These are not related to the text of a book, but we can enjoy to learn English.
The King Arthur is famous person. He was active in the end of 5 century to the beginning of the 6 century in Britain. But nobody knows the Arthur's story is true. (341/11112 words)
