King Arthur in Folklore: A Sleeping King Or A Giant?

Few figures loom as large in British legend as King Arthur. Noble king, fair-minded monarch, mighty warrior - Arthur ends up taking on all of these roles at various points, and often a few more besides.

Let's find out how Arthur appears in folk traditions in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.
