Rosemary Sutliff acknowledges in the preface of the book that this story really is a myth, albeit a myth built around a real person. Many of the stories connected with King Arthur are retold here.
Read as a myth, the book is enjoyable. I could not enjoy it very much due to the prevalence of magical occurences. I know these are crucial to the story, and it is all very celtic, but the magic did bother me. Also that several cases of immorality were treated lightly, for example, between Guenever and Lancelot.
