Los biógrafos no han sido especialmente generosos con Howard Pyle, o quizá su vida no fue lo suficientemente agitada para merecer la atención del periodismo. Y, sin embargo, escribió e ilustró, entre otras cosas, esta curiosa version de las aventuras del Rey Arturo, en que el lector hallara resueltas ciertas cuestiones que siempre han preocupado a los arturofilos. Por ejemplo, el numero exacto y los nombres de los caballeros de la Tabla Redonda, y quien y como regalo la Tabla; si fue o no Excalibur la espada que Arturo saco de la piedra; el nombre del lugar donde el rey sigue escondido hasta que vuelva a restaurar el mundo; o por que los viejos, como Merlin, no deben enamorarse.
