The Lost Land of King Arthur

Step into the mist‑shrouded cliffs and hidden valleys of England’s West Country, where the echoes of King Arthur’s legend still linger among crumbling castles, rocky outcrops and ancient chapels. This vivid guide weaves together the scant historical clues with the rich tapestry of medieval romance, inviting listeners to wander the same paths that inspired poets and chroniclers alike. Illustrated with striking early‑twentieth‑century sketches, the narrative paints each landmark—from Tintagel’s Execution Rock to Glastonbury’s solemn towers—as a living fragment of a story that straddles fact and folklore.

The author adopts a gentle, inquisitive tone, treating the Arthurian tradition as a “camera‑obscura” that magnifies the imagination of generations. By tracing the footprints of knights and the lingering names of forgotten places, the book offers a mosaic of anecdotes, local lore, and thoughtful speculation without venturing into speculative twists. Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation of how a single name can root itself in both the landscape and the collective memory of a nation.
