London : Penguin, 2004.

384 p. ; 20 cm.

This translation originally published: 1966.
Translated from the Latin.

Completed in 1136, this is the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the Saxons some 2000 years later. Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin and King Arthur it is as much myth as it is history but it captured the imagination of subsequent generations.
