Foreword All manner of fascinating legends cluster about the name of A rthur, the Celtic hero of far-off days, who made forever memorable a corner of England which is now Cornwall, but which in early history formed a part of Wales. It was while I was a child that the legend concerning Arthur sreturn fired my imagination so that it straightway set forth on a quest which was destined to continue for years. With my enthusiasm kindled by the inscription on Arthur stomb at Glastonbury: Hie jacet A rturus rex quondam rexque futurus, I searched the pages of English history from Arthur sday to our own, but I failed to discover the individual who fulfilled my conception of the King. Eventually the idea developed that in my own day Arthur might return. There was nothing definite about this at first; it signified rather a groping into the future for the final act of an unfinished drama of the past.
