Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Arthur of Albion is a great book. A book you'd love to just look at, a book you'd love to read to your children, or let them read themselves. For one, the stories themselves are an array of Arthurian myths and legends. Each of them is a fairytale in a nutshell long enough to be a real story, short enough to keep even the youngest interested. But then, that is the hallmark of John Matthews Arthurian publications.' --Vortigern Studies

'The major stories are interspersed with entries about particular episodes or characters. The text is formal but clear. The illustrations are intense in colour and detail, like Russian boxes, but also meltingly imaginative, offering strange vistas. The whole is well bound, clearly gift-like. As an extra treat, there is a beautiful fold out map' --Carousel
