Criticisms
- "The authenticity of Catumandus' narrative brings 5th - 6th century Britain vividly to life, but beyond that, this is intrinsically a profound and deeply moving book.... It has been said that every age creates its own Arthur. At the turn of the millennia this is the Arthur of our time."
- Dr P.W.Avery. Oriental Scholar Kings College, Cambridge.
- An extraordinary book - a marvellous read."
- Dr. Anne Ross. Celtic Scholar and Archaeologist.
- "Fascinating and enchanting"
- Gore Vidal. American Novelist and Critic.
- "Lees certainly can hold a pen..... The idiom is modern without being anachronistic."
- D.J.Taylor. Distinguished British Literary Critic.
- "What makes this book such a triumph is that we are able to contemplate the wreck of Britain without depression because of the power of Arthur to infuse the land with a light that is radiant."
- Caitlin Matthews. International Arthurian Society Quarterly.
