I would leave children's books:

"The Story of King Arthur and His Knights" by Howard Pyle
"The Story of Sir Lancelot and His Companions" by Howard Pyle
"The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur" by Howard Pyle

I think the affected old-style verbiage employed by Pyle is a turn-off for many
kids.  My son won't read him even though he's interested in the subjects.

Ah, I smite you'th thou dragon! And thy flame be blight of thouest
dark knight, as I raiseth my wrods and plunge it'th...

Man, I can't even go through these books without a dictionary (just kidding)
Those books aren't that bad, though. After reading a few of those chapters,
I eventually get what they mean. :)

Just my two brickz...
