Was medieval England full of knights on horseback rescuing
fainting damsels in distress? Were the Middle Ages mired in superstition
and ignorance? Why does nobody ever mention King Louis the First and
Last? And, of couse, those key questions: which monks were forbidden
the delights of donning underpants... and did outlaws never wear trousers?
Terry Jones and Alan Ereira are your guides to this most misrepresented
and misunderstood period, and they point you to things that will surprise
and provoke. |

Arthur:The Seeing Stone is an extraordinary novel, contemporary
in feel but with its roots deep in the past. One hundred short chapters
give snapshots of both the mythical world of King Arthur and the
day-to-day existence of a young boy growing up in 1199, and as the
two begin to touch on each other's lives the story develops into
a multi-layered novel with a depth and intensity that maintains
a page-turning, easy-to-read--yet at the same time challenging--quality
that is somehow unique. |
