The Trials of Arthur: The Biker Who Would Be King (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952746499)

Meet the self-proclaimed "nutter who thinks he's King Arthur."

Raised Druid King of Britain by five Druid orders on the King's Stone in Kingston upon Thames in 1998 (where seven English monarchs had previously been crowned), this is the real life story of an outlaw biker who changed his name to Arthur Pendragon, became a Druid, then a King, who took on the British establishment and won!

Come with us on a magical quest, where myth meets modernity, where legends come to life and confront the law, where magic is a weapon in the eco-wars, and where people find out who they really are. A true tale of countercultural protest set at the turn of the Millennium, when people put their trust in the Goddess and their lives on the line for love of the land.

Gonzo journalism meets Arthurian romance: simultaneously serious, funny, historical and contemporary. A tale of adventure for rebels, bikers, eco-warriors and lovers of Arthurian literature alike.

"So unbelievable, it might just be true." - Kindred Spirit

"A magnificent document..." - Alan Moore, Writer

A book for the ages. A tale of re-enchantment, identity and myth so funny, brave and profoundly magical it would make any Bard proud. - John Higgs, Author

The Trials of Arthur is the amazing story of one singular man. But it is also the inspiring tale of an unjustly maligned British counterculture. Searching, funny, intelligent and illuminating, it is on one level a rip-roaring read, whimsical and compelling, and on another a haunting elegy to all those people who refuse to accept that they cannot make a difference in a world they know must change. - Deborah Orr, The Guardian.
