About the Book

Whilst researching his novel, Lancelot’s Grail, author Richard Gartee traveled to the UK to experience for himself the land of his characters. Since Sir Lancelot had an inextricable connection to King Arthur, it seemed logical to start with historic ruins associated with Arthur.

With camera and journal in hand, the author set out to visit every site in southwest Britain where King Arthur might have set foot (and a few extra places to boot). Stops ranged from Arthur’s birthplace to the Iron Age hill-fort believed to have been Camelot. He also took side trips to Stonehenge and other Neolithic sites, and experienced a mystical waterfall.

The journey resulted in two novels and this fascinating travel memoir recalling the many interesting people and far-fetched theories he encountered there. Illustrated with over 90 pages of color photos, the book provides examples of how the author worked details from the trip into his novels, and also discusses whether King Arthur was a myth or a historical leader whose feats became exaggerated over millennia.
