Hi Robert,

I was apparently fooled by comments of others about your book and perhaps the blurb from the publishers. All that about Geoffrey of Monmouth and British kings, btw, was only about Geoffrey of Monmouth and what he wrote, not a comment on your book.
I know…it’s infuriating how once an error in basic advertising blurb creeps in, it gets regurgitated in adverts etc everywhere, however many times you try to correct it. I was thinking about writing on an aspect of GoM by the way for something else, but have been put off to date for fear of careering headlong into the cul-de-sac of ‘fringe-archaeology’…perhaps I’ll give it another 10 years or so!

That was a comment, apparently, from the wiki page in which they quoted you as being part of a 'turning academic tide'. If you say this is not the case that's even better to me.
I know…when I saw I was apparently part of a ‘turning academic tide’ I must admit I cringed…as I said, I can only speak for myself and make no claim to being part of a wider academic movement (if such a thing exists)

As was proven today in this news item from the BBC
Ah academics eh……Wonderful. Can't live with them, can't write a review about them.....!
Cheers again
