See all formats and editions

A stunningly original, epic re-telling of the Arthurian legends.

Song of Arthur is an intriguing, lyrical new version of the Arthurian legends.

Using Taliesin, Arthur's famous bard, as his narrator, Robert Leeson draws on the original pagan stories from the 5th century AD, depicting the time when the real Arthur may have lived, and defended England from the Saxon invasion.

In Taliesin he has found a thoroughly original and lyrical voice, vividly capturing the excitement and magic of these legends, which have moved and enthralled for nearly two millennia.
