Editorial Reviews
The Wall Street Journal - 3/27/98
"[Richard White's] new book can only enhance his reputation, for he has gathered in one volume all the early records of Arthur. This has been attempted before...but never has it been done so thoroughly....The legend is susceptible to any number of other interprestations, and what Richard White has done, so valuably, is to give us their raw material--the very stuff of dreams."

Arthuriana - 10/98
"...a treasure-house ...the reader of this anthology will acquire a greater awarenss of the richness and diversity of the representation of the figure of King Arthur which existed in medieval literature and history."
