About the book

British Myths and Legends, edited by Richard Barber, gathers stories of heroes, saints, supernatural beings and remembered rulers from the traditions of the British Isles. Medieval accounts bring figures such as Arthur and Merlin into a world where history, belief and imaginative storytelling continually overlap. These narratives preserve the ways communities explained remarkable places and people, celebrated courage or gave shape to fear and wonder. The collection offers an encounter with the stories behind later literary retellings, showing how familiar legends grew from a varied inheritance of earlier sources.
