As the king who united a nation, his is the story of England itself. But what if Arthur wasn't English at all? As writer and activist Adam Ardrey discovered, the reason historians have had little success identifying the historical Arthur may be incredibly simple: He wasn't an Englishman at all. He was from Scotland. Finding Arthur chronicles Ardrey's unlikely quest to uncover the secret of Scotland's greatest king and conqueror, which has been hidden in plain sight for centuries. His research began as a simple exploration of a notable Scottish clan, but quickly it became clear that many of the familiar symbols of Arthurian legend--the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone, the Lady of the Lake--are based on very real and still accessible places in the Scottish Highlands. Sure to be controversial, Finding Arthur rewrites the legend of King Arthur for a new age."-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a All Ages. 600 $a Arthur, $c King. 650 0 $a Britons $x Historiography. $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Arthurian romances $x Sources. 650 0 $a HISTORY / Medieval. $2 bisacsh. 650 0 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology. $2 bisacsh. 651 0 $a Scotland $x History $y To 1057. 651 0 $a Scotland $x Antiquities. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u ftp://ppftpuser:welcome@ftp01.penguingroup.com/Booksellers and Media/Covers/2008_2009_New_Covers/9781468306897.jpg 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011325.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407022638.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20140311010407.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20140103011144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D50CC7A527A11E3A960BE75DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
