Another reworking of the Arthurian legend, but so bereft of Arthurian resonance that it might have worked better as an unvarnished or unvarnished historical novel of the Roman twilight in Britain. As the Saxon pillagers sweep ever farther west, young Baradoc, Roman army veteran and u0026 son of a British tribal chief, meets Tia, a Roman girl fleeing the troubles. Their son Arturo, a child hugely endowed with wildness, blarney and u0026 arrogance, grows up to inherit his father’s dream of uniting Britain against the Saxons. The story is chiefly concerned with the slow building of his campaign, from his early rebellion against the delaying tactics of the anti-Saxon forces to the great victory of Mt Badon. Like many imaginers of an earlier Britain, Canning is best when describing the wild countryside and u0026 the homely skills of its inhabitants. His attempts to graft this material onto the Grail legend are effortful platitudes.

Constantly reinforced by more of their kind they were beginning to sweep westwards across the country, massacring and u0026 pillaging, to make it their own. and ” Postscript: and “Although there are no incontrovertible facts about King Arthur, the renown of his life and u0026 deeds in the Dark Ages was lodged for over 600 years in folk memory. and u0026 folk, being what they are, invariably alter and u0026 embroider a good story. Wm of Malmesbury, Geoffrey of Monmouth and u0026 then Sir Thomas Malory were landed with the result. Lesser as well as better writers have followed them.
