King Arthur and his knights; (World landmark books)
Back in the sixth century the British Isles were not as they are now. England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, all were divided up into small kingdoms each with its own ruler, each looking for trouble. They fought together, won or lost their lands, shifted their boundaries, until, as one writer says, we need the magic of Merlin to set us straight about the places.

Most of the people were poor beyond belief, and moreover they had no possible way of escaping from that plight of poverty. They were in a complete state of slavery to the rich... Read these tales, then, and realize as you read, that here through the most potent magic of all, the power of the printed word to convey reality, you have come upon a might that moved the world.
