About This Item
Signed. Who was Arthur, and what made him one of the most powerful figures in our history and myths? David Day traces Arthur's evolution from the earliest records of the historical Artorius through countless incarnations to the immortal figure we know today. As well as describing the above in an accessible way, the book evokes the romance of Arthurian legend through hundreds of beautiful illustrations . Monty Python's Terry Jones writes the foreword, and the book is SIGNED by David Day.

DJ is price clipped but otherwise very good with only minor shelf wear., mostly at the top of the spine. Now covered in a removable clear book covering. 176pp with many colour and B&W illustrations and index. Please see all photos
