"Well-made arguments backed by archaeology, etymology, and geography " about the origins of the legend "will have readers rooting for a Scottish Arthur." ( Kirkus Reviews) As writer and activist Adam Ardrey discovered, the reason historians have had little success identifying the historical Arthur may be incredibly simple: He wasn't an Englishman at all. He was from Scotland . Finding Arthur chronicles Ardrey's unlikely quest to uncover the secret of Scotland's greatest king and conqueror, which has been hidden in plain sight for centuries. His research began as a simple exploration of a notable Scottish clan, but quickly it became clear that many of the familiar symbols of Arthurian legend--the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone, the Lady of the Lake--are based on very real and still accessible places in the Scottish Highlands. Sure to be controversial, Finding Arthur rewrites the legend of King Arthur for a new age. Adam Ardrey is the author of Finding Merlin: The Truth Behind the Legend of the Great Arthurian Mage. A writer and attorney, he lives in Scotland.
