"Idylls of The King" are a series of twelve narrative poems of the Arthurian tales and legends. They are the mythical stories of King Arthur and his Court, including the Knights of the Round Table They are tales of heroes and ladies in the historical and mystical land of Camelot; a time of chivalry and romantic, courtly love.
