Pendragon: An Arthurian Mystery

PENDRAGON In a land ravaged by war the ageing Pendragon, Ambrosius Aurelianus, seeks a successor only to encounter the twin threats of the Saxon advance and treason. He places his trust in Arthur, a man torn between the defence of his country and the defence of the woman he loves. Set in 497 A.D. Pendragon is based on ancient Welsh sources and features many of the men and women who played a crucial role in Arthur’s life: Bedwyr and Cai, Caradog and Cadwallon, Gwenhwyfar and Eleri. The story culminates in the Battle of Badon, a battle that shaped the Britain we live in today, a battle that placed Arthur’s name in chronicles and histories, a battle that created a legend and a hero for all time. Praise for TANGWSTYL by Mansel Jones ‘Mansel Jones has well imagined the details of life in the period. He obviously knows the landscape well and the evocation of this adds greatly to the book’. – Caroline Clark, from www.gwales.com, with the permission of the Welsh Books Council. ‘Tangwstyl is...a riveting story...moves along at a terrific pace...holds your interest from start to end and is a real page turner...offers a vivid insight into what it must have been like to live in Kenfig all that long time ago’. – The Kenfig Society.
