I found this book in a second-hand bookstore, and read it in about two days.
As a fan of anything Arthurian, I enjoyed this book. It was rich with description and layered in a setting that had great history and context. It was a little dated in places (Arthur and Bedivere insisting on calling Ygern...

This book I got many years ago from Quarwood of all places. It's one of the books I own from John Entwistle's personal library, and it is an exceptionally beautiful book. It is worth five stars for the pictures alone, but the accompanying text makes it all even better.

Oh boy! I slogged through more than half this book and finally decided to call it quits. I wanted to like this, I mean I'm a huge fan of anything Arthur, but this book seemed to go from one gory battle to another with not much else inbetween. There was quite a bit of the young Arthur story, of which some passages...
