520    "The legend of King Arthur has been told and retold for 
       centuries. As the king who united a nation, his is the 
       story of England itself. But what if Arthur wasn't English
       at all? As writer and activist Adam Ardrey discovered, the
       reason historians have had little success identifying the 
       historical Arthur may be incredibly simple: He wasn't an 
       Englishman at all. He was from Scotland. Finding Arthur 
       chronicles Ardrey's unlikely quest to uncover the secret 
       of Scotland's greatest king and conqueror, which has been 
       hidden in plain sight for centuries. His research began as
       a simple exploration of a notable Scottish clan, but 
       quickly it became clear that many of the familiar symbols 
       of Arthurian legend--the Round Table, the Sword in the 
       Stone, the Lady of the Lake--are based on very real and 
       still accessible places in the Scottish Highlands. Sure to
       be controversial, Finding Arthur rewrites the legend of 
       King Arthur for a new age."--|cProvided by publisher.
