My favourite story was in this book was The Sword, Excalibur because I like when
Merlin took King Arthur to a magic place with a great lake. That place was Avalon
and there was the Excalibur. The sword Excalibur was specifically to King Arthur to
fight with evils knights and with The Sword Excalibur nobody could kill King
Arthur .When they arrived to Avalon, in the lake was the Lady of the Lake and she
gave the Excalibur to King Arthur.
King Arthur fought many times with the Excalibur and nobody could kill he because
that sword was magic and just he could used it.
