Sixth Century Welsh oriented historical Arthurian novel by a American author who wrote a book on Mythic Atlantic islands.

Maelgwn of Gwynedd" Being American it's Celtic sympathies were refreshing and still are!. Great end notes while obviously dated many still relevant,even if challenged, as in using Cadbury as staging group for combined warbands of the British kings.
