About this Event

Step into a world of myth, magic and adventure as bestselling historian Philip Parker explores the enduring legend of King Arthur, with his book: Land of Mist and Magic: The Myths and Legends that Shaped Britain.

Was Arthur a real king, or Britain's greatest myth? From enchanted landscapes and ancient battles to Merlin, Camelot and the quest for the Holy Grail, discover how these timeless stories have captured imaginations for centuries.

Joining him is Sarah Clegg, with her latest book: Perilous Enchantment: The True History of Faeries.

Rescuing faeries from the realm of the cute and sparkly, Sarah offers a thrillingly dark and disturbing account of the fae through world folklore. She travelled from Iceland to Cornwall to follow how fairy myths grew and spread across Europe, and whey have, for centuries, been so enthralled by the danger and enchantment of the fae.
