Amy Jeffs chats 'Arthur'
It is said that a monument now stands before the high church of Caerleon: an anvil pierced through with a sword. It is said that the sword can only be taken by the Britons' rightful king...
From Sunday Times bestseller Amy Jeffs, Arthur: A New Life mines the deep, elusive seams of a story we think we all know: the legend of King Arthur.
As Amy chats with Ian, it becomes clear that we might not know the story at all, as in the book Arthur is anew! Amy traces the epic story from Merlin's conception and the building of the Round Table, to the abduction of Guinevere and King Arthur's ambitious quest for Empire... this is Arthur brought back to life from the earliest sources.
Thirty of Amy's original linocut illustrations also map the inky Arthurian myth-scape and in this conversations, she shares more about her process with Ian. Plus, we finish with a song!
