Using more Celtic and Bardic mythologies, Taliesin for example, and even drawing in the lost city of Atlantis, Lawhead weaves a compelling and fascinating tale.Įach of the books in the Pendragon Cycle focuses on one or two people. Lawhead’s series “ The Pendragon Cycle” investigates this fascinating time period in great detail. A time of rough fighting and rougher arms, not the picture of mail-clad chivalry that is normally portrayed in the myths and legends. In factual history, King Arthur was sometime between when the Romans abandoned Britain, and when the Saxons showed up. One of my favorite time periods to study, due to the myths and speculation surrounding it, is that of the early history of Great Britain, namely the time of King Arthur. This often included factual books, fantasy books, and all books in between. Meaning that I chose the time period, or the history that I wanted to learn, and then had free reign to find any and all books related to it that I could. Growing up in a homeschool family, my early history lessons were largely self-directed.
