The quest for Arthur's Britain
About this book
"A useful compendium of information about the Arthurian problem, the Arthurian legend, and about what archaeology says of western Britain." —Glyn Daniel, The Guardian   The legend of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table dominates the mythology of Britain, but could this story prove more fact than fiction? Recent archaeological findings have led Geoffrey Ashe to believe there is more truth to Arthurian legend than previously accepted. The Quest for Arthur's Britain examines the historical foundation of the Arthurian tradition, and presents the remarkable results of excavations to date at Cadbury (reputed site of Camelot), Tintagel, Glastonbury and many places known almost exclusively to Arthurian scholars.   "The best sort of historical detective story." —The Economist   "Ideal for romantic patriots and for those with a serious interest in our national origins." —Cyril Dunn, The Observer
