King Arthur

King Arthur

“King Arthur, at last we know who this great hero was, thanks to the amazing medieval manuscript now discovered in Brittany.”

So says the eminent Professor Bronwen Williams in the Preface to my new novel, “The Migrants”, which is set in the fifth century AD. At this crucial time in history, the Roman legions had been withdrawn from Britain, leading to invasions by the Anglo-Saxons and the Picts. The fictional professor is an expert on this period.

To escape these invasions, some Britons migrated to Brittany (a regions where we now find so many Welsh or Cornish-sounding names).

The novel follows the colourful lives of two British families who made their homes in Brittany. All sorts of adventures and activities take place, including battles, skirmishes, miracles, and a pilgrimage. But what will we discover about King Arthur? The contents of the manuscript will be revealed.

I am delighted that Austin Macauley will be publishing this historical novel (set in a period in which there is so far very little historical fiction).

A great deal of research was needed to write this novel and which enabled me to bring the history to life by relating events to individual people and their many challenges.

I hope that the readers will thoroughly enjoy the novel.
