Arthur has been a source of fascination ever since he first emerged from the mists of the Dark Ages that followed the end of Roman rule in Britain. Was he a real man or is he just a legendary character around whom so many myths have been woven? Perhaps he was both. Perhaps Arthur was a famous warrior fighting against the Saxons in 6th century Britain. Perhaps his mythical character arose from the stories told about his exploits. Over time, myth overtook man until the reality of his existence became buried so deep it is difficult to drag it out into the open. In this book, I want to separate Arthur's two characters - the real and the legendary - and show how, and why, one morphed into the other over the hundreds of years that separate us from those long-ago days.
