The Legacy of Arthur's Chester

xii, 156pp. Includes maps etc. In green cloth-covered boards (clean, square, a little rubbed at corners). Image on front free endpaper, first few pages have some mild marks. In its original dust jacket (very gently rubbed at edges, a little shelf wear). More of a detective story than a history, Stoker tells how Chester was the military headquarters for the Romans in Britain and then how it became both the ecclesiastical and civil centre of Britain for nearly 200 years, and in doing so, raises King Arthur from a legendary figure to an historical one fighting battles in Lancashire and the North.
