When writing The Road To Camelot, my Trilogy of Arthurian novels, I tackled considerable researching and became fascinated with the historical possibilities and tales which may have been the basis for the legend of King Arthur. In a wonderful resource I found, The Arthurian Encylopedia, (Garland Publishing, Inc.) I read of three sites in England which some historians and writers speculate may have been the real Camelot, where a band of knights were possibly a revival of the Romans heavy cavalry force, and Arthur Pendragon a warlord with a large following, perhaps eventually made a king of the land he protected.
Within each story I depicted an original place in Britain as Arthurs castle/fortress, restored to garrison his army after the Roman occupation ended. In Lancelots Crystal, the setting is the huge Roman military fort at Carlisle. In Prince of the Mists, it is Caerleon in Wales, and in Swords & Roses, (Merlins Secret) Cadbury castle, an ancient Roman fortress believed to have been reinforced by Celtic occupants about the time Arthur would have lived and fought against the invaders. There have actually been reports that ghostly knights were seen riding about the area, whether fanciful or true I will leave to imagination.

This wonderful novels collection explores three historically possible sites where the real Camelot may have existed and the lives of its key inhabitants. Intriguing plots & strong characters that engage the reader and take one to realistic adventures in Authurian times--I recommend this book highly if you want to be entertained.

I read this book through almost without stopping, then read it again! Fascinating, fast moving novels that takes one into the plight of Lancelot and Guinevere, the treachery of Mordred, the tumultous last days of the great Camelot reign and then to the ghosts of the past revived by the sorcery of Merlin. It's three greatly intertaining novels for the price of one!
