You'll go gravy wrestling in Lancashire, nettle eating in Somerset, & venture to Hereford for the significant occasion that is Best Dressed Stick.

Leading archaeologist Francis Pryor retells the story of King Arthur, legendary king of the Britons, tracing it back to its Bronze Age origins.

The legend of King Arthur & Camelot is one of the most enduring in Britain's history, spanning centuries & surviving invasions by Angles, Vikings & Normans. In his latest book Francis Pryor – one of Britain’s most celebrated archaeologists & author of the acclaimed ‘ Britain B.C.’ & ‘ Seahenge’ – traces the story of Arthur back to its ancient origins. Putting forth the compelling idea that most of the key elements of the Arthurian legends are deeply rooted in Bronze & Iron Ages (the sword Excalibur, the Lady of the Lake, the Sword in the Stone & so on), Pryor argues that the legends' survival mirrors a flourishing, indigenous culture that endured through the Roman occupation of Britain, & the subsequent invasions of the so-called Dark Ages.

This paperback book has 290 pages & measures: 19.7 x 12.8 x 2cm
