Rosemary Sutcliff is a fantastic author of many "young adult" books that I discovered (and loved) as an adult. She considers her topic the "matter of England", and as such, her books revolve primarily about the broad range of the history of the island. In this book she begins a series of four books outlining the historical connection between the abandonment of Britain by the Roman Empire and the rise of the battle-leader we know as Arthur. For a more complete list of her books, see http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/rosemary-sutcliff/.
