Description
The History of Merlin and King Arthur: The Earliest Version of the Arthurian Legend by Geoffrey of Monmouth. First published in 1136 AD, this book is the earliest surviving account of the Arthurian legend. It tells us that King Arthur fought the Saxons after the Romans left Britain, and includes stories of Merlin's early life that are not found in later accounts. This edition brings together the most relevant parts of Geoffrey's Historia Regum Britanniae, omitting lengthy histories of other kings. With its clear narrative and added subheadings, this book makes King Arthur's place in history more accessible than ever before. The text has been translated from the original Latin by Aaron Thompson, revised and corrected by J. A. Giles in 1842. Beautiful illustrations by Howard Pyle add to the book's appeal, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in the stories of King Arthur.
