(3.9 stars; 27 reviews)

One of the earliest recorded histories of Britain; Nennius wrote the book around 796BC. These days Nennius is recognised as being a teller, and embellisher, of historic characters and events; but his book is notable as one of the earliest that mention Arthur (of Arthurian legend).

The book is fascinating, but the description is wrong; this book was written ca. 800AD, not 800BC. I'm fairly certain Christianity wasn't popular in Britain in 800BC.

Interesting!

It is interesting reading books written so long ago. You have to remember they don't structure things the same way. I enjoyed the read, but it was definitely different!
