![]() I highly recommend the non-fiction book by Guy Halsall "Worlds of Authur". So if the book is about knights in shinning armour rather than the discussion of "the real" King Arthur, then it has no more claim to be on the list than The Decameron or The Divine Comedy (still hanging on at #66).Įxcellent documentaries on the subject include "Arthur King Of The Britons", and "King Arthur's Britain" as well as another documentary by Michael Wood, the name of which escapes me. The comparisons to the Welsh Merlin as the Odin/Woden of Norse belief are apt. ![]() Whether the kernel of truth is a Britain-Roman soldier of the late "Dark Ages" to Early Middle Ages, the idea of chivalry and so forth is straight out of a Miss Manners Handbook of the times the story was being told. History records that the tales of a courtly Arthur are, in deed, as non-fiction as The Decameron. ![]() ![]() Booklovinglady wrote: "Waldo wrote: "Looking further up, and though I have not read the book, I also draw attention to the fact that "King Arthur" is a character of fiction." ![]()
