King Arthur is the ultimate English hero. According to mediaeval histories and romances, he led the defence of Britain against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. Even so, the historical basis of his existence is much disputed by modern historians, although it is impossible not to imagine him at the heart of much of our literature from stories to poems to films and plays. Richard Brassey's unique gift for extracting truth from myth in a concise and insightful way makes this book the perfect introduction to King Arthur for young readers — and confused tourists!

«A celebration of the Queen and her reign which will appeal to children, or souvenir hunters, as it's presented in an appealing style and format. Irreverent but always affectionate, the book reveals quirky facts alongside solid history, and is in the same highly illustrated style as the author's «Nessie The Loch Ness Monster» and «Greyfriars Bobby».»

From mediaeval times to modern day, people have been endlessly fascinated by tales of the famous outlaw who allegedly robbed the rich to give to the poor. But who was Robin Hood really — aristocrat or commoner; hero or villain? Where did he really come from? Sheffield and Yorkshire claim him as their own son as much as Nottinghamshire ever did. Myths abound and in this book, with all the humour, affection and gently mocking criticism of the bestselling NESSIE, Richard Brassey gently pokes fun at the falsehoods while pursuing what appears to be the truth.

What are the facts and what is only legend? With humour and historical accuracy, Richard Brassey tells the irresistible tale for readers everywhere.
