What is Arthur the King : A Romance about?

"In Massie's Camelot - set, incidentally, on the River Tweed - we are in the post-Roman era where kings are jockeying for position, for title, land and power. Massie draws on the familiar characters of the legend - Merlin, Guinevere, Morgan Le Fay as well as Arthur himself, the various Knights of the Round Table and the sword Excalibur." "When we first meet Arthur he is a callow youth with a friend and servant by the name of Cal. We learn something of the origins of the magician Merlin (the son of a Roman centurion) and how he nurtures the child Arthur. His relationships with Morgan Le Fay and Guinevere are complex." "The Arthur of Massie's novel is an increasingly troubled monarch, worn down by the affairs of state. He disapproves of his knights' yearning for battle; he thinks their quest for the Holy Grail is selfish. Massie's Arthur is the great statesman of his times. Many readers will see parallels with more recent history."--BOOK JACKET
