The years passed. I lost the book, dwelt on other, more ordinary things. Then, upon the promptings of a friend, I rediscovered some long-lost territory.

For anyone who has any interest in Aurthurian legend, the 'Dark Ages', or, perhaps more appropriately, Jungian philosophy, this is a must.

A wonderful historical voyage that, taken with other great works by such as Leslie Alcock and John Wilkinson, really gets its point across - there may not have been an actual Aurthur, but there sure as heck was a lot of identifiable history about the story and some of the other characters.

It's settled for me: these stories come from Scotland, not Wales or Cornwall.

Buy! Read! Argue!
