Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-23 00:00:00 Patrick McRae These are the works of a couple of poets, who sought to write down the Arthurian tales that had become popular in the centuries after the Norman invasion of England. As such, they're probably the best source documents we have. Full of unlikely events, magic, and mythical creatures they're a good insight into the medieval European mind. It's easy to forget how very dark the darkness of night was before the coming of gas and electricity; impossible to understand how dark the medieval mind was before science. What hope was there against foreign invaders? Somewhere in the mists there had to be a mythical hero.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-17 00:00:00 Seb Brown I enjoyed both of these accounts of the Arthurian saga -- particularly that of Layamon. The translator has skillfully incorporated just enough of the archaic language and Saxon sentence-structure of the latter, to make the book a challenging but pleasurable reading experience.
