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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216493953363,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421154591059,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/1050.jpg?v=1792531800","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/british-myths-and-legends-1998-folio-society-1050","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
