Arthur, l'autre légende

Novel, Historical novel by Philip Reeve

Blurb

Here Lies Arthur is a young-adult novel by Philip Reeve, published by Scholastic in 2007. Set in fifth or sixth century Britain and the Anglo-Saxon invasion, it features a girl who participates in the deliberate construction of legendary King Arthur during the man's lifetime, orchestrated by a bard. Reeve calls it a back-creation: not a genuine historical novel as it is not based on actual specific events; rather it is "back-created" from the legends, giving them a "realistic" origin.
Reeve won the annual Carnegie Medal, recognising the year's best children's book published in the U.K.
Scholastic published the first U.S. edition in November 2008.
