Bran was an ancient British hero with whom the bards identified Arthur, perhaps because Bran bore the title Arddu ("the Dark One," pronounced Arthū), and had a shrine at Glastonbury. Bran, whose emblem was the raven, had been defeated by his twin Beli in a certain "Battle of the Trees," and his head buried on Tower Hill, London, where ravens are still protected as a good-luck charm.






This book, written before the advent of the modern novel, reads like the Old Testament, with list upon list of, "There was this guy and he did this. And there was this guy and he did this. And this guy..." and very little in the way of description of place, mood or character.
