Can somebody help me in finding a good reading text of the Arthurian legend for ESL students on about intermediate level?
I teach English and literature to a class of 15 year-olds, and since in literature classes we study medieval literature, I would like to use the same topic in English classes.
Thanks a lot

King Aurther and His Kinghts by Howard Pyle of your students dont mind it being in quasi-Old English. That is to say, I read it when I was about 13 and didn't find it very difficult, but it is a bit heavy in the vocabulary department.

There is a children's classic read in American junior high schools in about 6th grade that is not about King Arthur but is about medieval England (12th century): A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by E.L. Konigsburg.
