Book has some smudges on the page edges. King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Loomis, whose research into the background of the Arthurian legend reveals findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial.

If Loomis's arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur? The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale.
