liked it

I enjoyed the historical aspects of the book wherein the author discusses what is known or believed about the real Arthur, though he gives far more credit to Geoffrey of Monmouth than I would. When the book turned to the legends of Arthur, the fictional aspects, I lost interest and skimmed quite a bit. Overall, an interesting read though St. Govan's Chapel, alleged the sight of the start of the quest for the Grail, is incorrectly noted as being in Cornwall when it is in Pembrokeshire Wales.
