The Arthurian Book of Days

The Arthurian Book of Days retells the legends of King Arthur across the turning year, assigning a story or part of a story to each day. The entries draw together Arthurian traditions associated with Britain, including the world of the king, his court and the adventures surrounding them.

Caitlín and John Matthews bring historical strands, folklore and myth into a single seasonal arrangement, presenting the material as an ongoing cycle rather than one continuous narrative. The result ranges across familiar Arthurian themes while also reflecting the many sources and traditions that have shaped the legend. It suits readers interested in British folklore, medieval storytelling and the calendar’s place in myth.
