King Arthur in Cornwall by W. Howship Dickinson is about a legendary Celtic Briton who, according to medieval histories and romances, was the leader of the Celtic Britons in battles against Saxon invaders of Britain in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. Excerpt: "Ex nihilo nihil fit. For the story of King Arthur, there must be some foundation, however, the primary facts may have been distorted and exaggerated. Two rules may be safely laid down about tradition: it usually has some truth to rest upon; that truth is not accurately presented to us, but has been altered and probably magnified by verbal transmission."
