When you think of kings, whom do you consider first? A real historical figure? A fictional paragon of justice? A lion? What if you can't quantify whom that individual really is - as in: is he real? Danny seeks to answer that question through the use of a fantastic historical analysis of Celtic and Roman lore. His subject? The ever present King of Knights: Arthur Pendragon. Was King Arthur a real man? A king? A god? Will he return? Regardless of your personal subjective opinion, the book Danny and the Tsar discusses does a tremendous job at dealing with most of the facts. Together, the Tsar and Danny argue through deep historical philosophies as the author delves into the origin of Arthur as a man and as a Celtic God. As destiny prescribed, alongside the king are his knights: Gawain, Lancelot, and the treacherous Mordred. But the person changed most in Danny's view was the queen: Guinevere. Come to the past as these two friends debate history as a discipline and whether or not Britain's great monarch will save the world with his saber of light. Excelsior!
