About This Book

Unlike other titles on King Arthur, our book takes a serious look at the legend, rather than just an appreciative one. Looks closely at the role that Arthur played. Discusses why King Arthur's myth is so important. Well illustrated with maps and photos of suspected Arthurian sites.
