The story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the chief myth of Britain. But is it something more than myth? Solid facts have emerged through the recent work of archaeologists. This illustrated book examines the historical foundations of the Arthurian tradition, and then presents the results of excavations to date at Cadbury (reputed site of Camelot), Tintagel, Glastonbury and less-known places.
Condition
A good solid copy. There is light but comprehensive foxing to the page edges and the wrapper has been neatly price-clipped. There is an inoffensive previous owner's inscription to the title page. The book remains in strong readable condition.
