The Land of Mist and Magic

Historian Philip Parker discusses the legend of King Arthur with Sarah Clegg, author of a history of faeries, at Whitby Lit Fest.

Philip Parker appears in conversation with Sarah Clegg about his book Land of Mist and Magic: The Myths and Legends that Shaped Britain, exploring whether King Arthur was a real king or Britain's greatest myth, from Merlin and Camelot to the Holy Grail. Sarah Clegg joins him to discuss Perilous Enchantment: The True History of Faeries, a dark account of fairy folklore drawn from her travels across Europe. The event lasts 90 minutes and is part of Whitby Lit Fest.
