Books by Rosemary Morris

The idea of this book started many years ago with my love of nature, places and people. If I think it is interesting, it has to be photographed! It all started when a friend of my family took some pictures of us as children. I was so fascinated with the camera that he let me have a try. On my thirteenth birthday my parents bought me a Brownie C620. I dashed over the fields to photograph a Point-toPoint Horse Race. Although I took many photographs, I did not get serious about photography until my daughter married and my brother-in-law suggested I got a Canon AV1 and since then I have always used Canon cameras. Now I have an EOS 90D plus a 100 to 400 MkII lens for wildlife with a 1.4mm extension. I have an EOS 7D MkII I use for landscape and close work with a 24 to 105mm lens. As I got older I found it difficult to carry other heavy lenses. Over the last 20 years or so, one of my travelling companions has been Bas Yates who is also a wildlife photographer and a cousin with the same interests. We are constantly competing to get a better photograph. My 70 years as a photographer have been fantastic, I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

Examines the legend of Arthur, based on Geoffrey of Monmouth's "History of the Kings of Britain". This book illustrates how medieval writers retold what they believe to be the story of a real historical figure and how the story of Arthur took shape. It looks at his antecedents, the story of his conception and birth, and his accession.
