Black. Good King Arthur. Charles Folkard. c. 1923. jpg

When good King Arthur ruled this land, He was a goodly King. He stole three pecks of barley-meal, To make a bag pudding. A bag-pudding the king did make, And stuffed it well with plums, And in it he put great lumps of fat, As big as my two thumbs. The king and queen did eat thereof, And noblemen beside, And what they could not eat that night, The queen next morning fried.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Good King Arthur,' is a beautiful illustration by Charles Folkard from the early 20th century. The painting depicts King Arthur, dressed in regal attire and adorned with a crown, seated at a grand table in his castle's banquet hall. Surrounded by his queen and noblemen, they all eagerly enjoy a hearty meal, with the queen preparing to fry the leftovers from the previous night. The scene is inspired by the classic nursery rhyme, 'King Arthur,' which tells the tale of the legendary king's indulgence in a delicious bag pudding. The pudding, made from three pecks of barley-meal, plums, and lumps of fat, was a favorite dish among the royal court. The table is set with elegant tableware, and the walls are adorned with ermine, adding to the opulence and grandeur of the scene. Charles Folkard's illustration masterfully captures the warmth and joy of a royal feast, transporting us back to a time when Good King Arthur ruled the land with kindness and generosity. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of folklore and the simple pleasures of a well-prepared meal shared among loved ones.
