Chwedl Arthur

The mythological character of Arthur is familiar to everyone, but his roots lie deep in Welsh history and culture. This detailed graphic novel recounts the first two branches of the story, beginning with the seer Myrddin, the wild man of the woods, and the heroic rise of Arthur as the Britons’ warleader opposing the Saxon incursions into Britain. This is fifth century Britain; the Romans have gone and the indigenous British culture is resurgent; the Welsh language develops from the Brythonic mother tongue, and the earliest Welsh literature and histories are composed.
