Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

With evidence from archeology, ancient texts and linguistics, Tolstoy, an Arthurian scholar, argues that Merlin did exist, although not as a contemporary of King Arthur. PW found that even readers with no particular interest in the subject "will not regret" reading this book.

Ingram

Did Merlin really exist, or is he part of a fairy tale? Nikolai Tolstoy eloquently argues that the wizard Merlin did in fact exist. Through the use of diverse and rare literary sources, he shows Merlin to have been a historical figure--one of the last heirs to druidic tradition. 16 pages of black-and-white photos. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic piece of scholarship., Oct 9 1998
By A Customer
You can't help but respect a book with a bibliography that's fully one-fifth of its size. Tolstoy's knowledge of Celtic lore is impressive in its depth and expansive in its scope. He draws from a deep well of myth, legend and written history to create an argument that requires no small amount of concentration to appreciate fully but is even more satisfying because of it. It was an amazing learning experience that I would recommend to any serious Celtic aficionado.
