Book Reviews of The History of the Kings of Britain (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Thrilling and exciting
Summary: 4 Stars
For an twelfth century story-book writer, Monmouth does a very good job. His writing style is both entertaining and informative. He does tend to exaggerate quite a bit regarding accurate information, but the book makes a very good read, and there is a whole section devoted to the first fully developed legend of King Arthur.
