Items related to The Circle of the Gods
The Circle of the Gods tells the story of the childhood and unruly youth of Arturo (Arthur), born in the fifth century to a Roman girl and the son of a tribal chieftain in the far West of Britain. The last Roman legions had long been withdrawn, leaving the land a prize to be fought over by rival British warlords and Saxon invaders. It takes him into early manhood and to the beginning of his tremendous mission to create his own army and to mount a crusade against all odds to check the Saxon advance and to begin the restoration of the country's greatness. Victor Canning brings to this re-creation of the youth of Arthur the same qualities of imagination and narrative skill which distinguished The Crimson Chalice, of which The Observer wrote: 'Fine bardic stuff that invests the old myths with the freshness of the morning and leaves one hungry for more.'
