The Song of Arthur
Description
The Song of Arthur by Robert Leeson is an original and authentic approach to the Arthurian legends, using Taliesin, Arthur's bard, as the narrator. It draws on pagan stories from the 5th century AD, depicting the time when the real Arthur may have lived and defended England from the Saxon invasion. The book, written by the winner of the Eleanor Farjeon Award, appeals to both adults and children. The paperback edition is marked as a remainder and shows general wear to edges.
