The Badbury Tales Trilogy“Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but has by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place.”Sir Thomas Malory Le Morte d’Arthur 1470What if King Arthur were to awaken and slip silently into twenty-first century Britain, concerned still for good to conquer evil – would you believe it? Most great leaps forward in our history take place when people ask the “What if?” question and find the answer. Book One, ‘Return of the Raven’, describes how two teenagers stumble by accident upon a group of 6th Century warriors in a large underground chamber at Badbury Rings, an Iron Age hill fort in Dorset. Unknown to them they have been followed into the chamber by an elderly man who rouses the men from their long sleep. What follows next would spoil the story except, that when reference is made in Book Two, to Green Dragon, Red Lion, Battleaxe and Long Ship it is identifying four Land Rover Discovery vehicles that are being used by the small group of warriors. Book Two is the first sequel to Book One but its account begins some six months before Book One’s events take place. In case you wonder what the last two words of the book’s title mean it is an ancient description which in modern language means ‘the Dangerous Chair (or seat)’.Book 3 - 'Men of Avalon'In this final volume of the Badbury Tales trilogy we see Arthur’s men in action: Galahad rescuing Tricia from her folly, Gawaine confronting a threat to his life, Tristram overcoming the forces of nature to avert a tragedy and Launcelot headlong against the scourge of racial division. Will this lead to a more settled future for the Knights of the Round Table?Reviews:This is a splendid book suitable for children of all ages. A mixture of legend and realism; a mystical adventure set firmly in the 21st Century. This is a wonderful tale about today’s world that will renew faith in our youth’s capacity for good.
