We need to find a good scan of the cover from as close to a first edition as possible. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:54, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm starting edits on this article, and I've noticed it needs a lot of work. If anyone has any information about the novel's background, story summaries, character explanations, or any other useful information, please feel free to ping me! I would appreciate any help that you have to offer. Jesse R Long ( talk) 01:10, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
While working on this article, I've noticed that the lead section lacks information on the books background (i.e., publication info, more information about the author, information regarding the reception of the novel, etc.) I did create a new section for Pyle's other works, but I do not know much about each of them. Would any one know any potential sources to look at for this info? I think it would help move the article forward in terms of available information. Jesse R Long ( talk) 18:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Although Howard Pyle is famous for his writing, he is better known for his illustration. In The Story of King Arthur and His Knights and Pyle's other novels, the illustrations play a large role in the significance of the novels and their presence in the genre of children's literature. I think it would be beneficial to add an illustrations section to the article to highlight the illustrations influence on the novel and its reception.

This book was one of the first (if not the first) pieces of Arthurian literature written in the United States. The article could benefit from supplemental information about the reception of the stories in America and how Pyle adapted the stories to American values. Jeanne Fox-Friedman's article "Howard Pyle and the Chivalric Order in America: King Arthur for Children" could have some information about this. Jesse R Long ( talk) 23:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
The addition of any information on the publication history and development of the novel would also be beneficial as it is included in the format for wiki articles over novels. Jesse R Long ( talk) 19:15, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Many Wikipedia articles about novels include a themes section, and this article would benefit from the addition of one, specifically in relation to the ideas mentioned in the lead section (i.e., bravery, romance, battle, and knighthood.) It might also be beneficial to reference these themes in relation to the literary criticism on the novel. Does anyone have know of sources for this information?

I created the basis of a character section, and it may be helpful to the completeness of the article to include relevant information about the reception of these central characters or sources regarding their influence in Pyle's novel. The wiki article on A Christmas Carol is a good reference for the format of the information as well as a general idea of the types of sources to include.
