Summary "Stories of the Days of King Arthur" by Charles Henry Hanson is a collection of Arthurian legends and tales written during the late 19th century. This work serves as a compilation tailored for young readers, aiming to present the enchanting and sometimes morally complex stories of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and related characters such as Merlin, in a more accessible form. The book captures the spirit of chivalry, adventure, and the supernatural that characterizes the Arthurian mythos. The opening of the collection sets the stage by detailing the fate of King Constans and his three sons, leading into the rise of Vortigern, who usurps the throne amid chaos caused by invading forces. Young Merlin, introduced as a key character, foretells the conflicts that will unfold in the kingdom, including the battles against power-hungry factions and fearsome invaders. The narrative establishes themes of destiny, loyalty, and the moral challenges faced by those vying for power, as well as the significance of magical elements in shaping the course of events in this legendary retelling.
