Excerpt from Geraint of Devon Gentles I will to tell you a fair tale, Echoing from the Lands of Long Ago, Resonant to the Towers of Brave Romance - Romance, that stately region of old time, Wherein were truths in grand simplicities, Valiance and gentleness and constancy, And Beauty with a radiance on her brow, And Love, a spiritual lord through earthly life, Source of ideals past all attainment, high. Luminous yet within a dreamer's dream Those lands endure; and if, as folk will say. They never were save in a dreamer's dream, What matter, when their light is glamour still, Their songs, a living music in the heart, Their visions, our own visions, glorified? And when, as to a refuge, to their halls, From deserts of world-weariness and pain, Fleeing, the dreamer enters and finds peace? So do you put the shadows from your souls, Coming within the gates of Brave Romance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Did King Arthur really exist? The Reign of Arthur takes a fresh look at the early sources describing Arthur's career and compares them to the reality of Britain in the fifth and sixth centuries. It presents, for the first time, both the most up to date scholarship and a convincing case for the existence of a real sixth-century British general called Arthur. Where others speculate wildly or else avoid the issue, Gidlow, remaining faithful to the sources, deals directly with the central issue of interest to the general reader: does the Arthur that we read of in the ninth-century sources have any link to a real leader of the fifth or sixth century? Was Arthur a powerful king or a Dark Age general co-cordinating the British resistance to Saxon invaders? Detailed analysis of the key Arthurian sources, contemporary testimony and archaeology reveals the reality of fragmented British kingdoms uniting under a single military command to defeat the Saxons. There is plausible and convincing evidence for the existence of their war-leader, and, in this challenging and provocative work, Gidlow concludes that the Dark Age hypothesis of Arthur, War-leader of the Kings of the Britons, not only fits the facts, it is the only way of making sense of them.
