There are almost too many stories and myths surrounding the legendary King Arthur to count. It's no simple task to recount this constantly shifting and varying tale, but this entertaining and illuminating volume tackles three central developments in his story: Celtic, medieval, and historical. Vivid artwork helps illustrate the story and depict the changing visions of Arthur through time. Photographs show the reader where key events are said to have taken place. Excerpts from the texts put readers right in the action, inspiring them to learn more about this fascinating figure of legend.

Review:
[...] I highly recommend this book. This book will be a joy to read for both the historian and the laymen and no particular deep background is necessary to just pick this up and start reading. I found the book interesting from a historical perspective and I think there could be a wealth of material useful to the historical wargamer. I can see about a dozen different ideas for your favorite miniature wargames here. --Outpostzero.net
King Arthur was informative, expertly researched and written in a way that didn't make it out to be boring. This is the first book that I read in the Myths and Legends series. With the way it went, I can't wait to go back for more. --The Bookish Owl
