BOOKWORMS CLUB: "Arthur and the sword in the stone"

We have just finished the latest session of our Bookworms Club and we must say that we are fascinated by today´s story: "Arthur and the sword in the stone". It is one of the most astonishing legends of the British culture: a boy who was the only one capable of pulling a sword out of a rock and this fact made him king of England in the Middle Ages. This particular event is the one narrated in the reading of this month, but there are many other captivating aspects related to King Arthur: Excalibur, his famous sword, given by the Lady in the Lake; his wife, Queen Guinevere; his fantastic castle, Camelot; his Knights of the Round Table, always in search of the Holy Grail. We have even lived a mesmerizing moment when we have recreated the ceremony of knighthood: one by one, we have been dubbed by the King and we are now Sirs and Dames of the Order of the British Empire. What an honour! And the act finished with a traditional dance. You should have seen our dancing qualities...

If you want to know more about King Arthur, take a look at this video or go to the local library, where Lilí, our favourite librarian, will be more that pleased to lend us some books and CDs about this topic.
