What if one of the world's most important people, Abraham Lincoln, for example, wasn’t dead but was just resting? Well, in Roger Lancelyn Green’s King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur is alive and merely resting. There are several key pieces of evidence to support this theory. First of all, no one ever saw him dead. Second, Arthur said he would come back when Britain needed him. And third, there is a secret cavern where he rests and where a little shepherd boy once found him.
It is hard to prove there has been a death if there is no body. No one witnessed King Arthur’s death nor have they seen his corpse. When last seen, Arthur was alive.

But a strange low cry of mourning came over the waters until the sadness passed from it and it was lost in a quiet whisper beyond the distance” (p. 324), proving that as Arthur floated away he was still alive.

Maybe it is a good sign that Arthur has not had to return to Britain, but someday if Britain is in terrible times perhaps another little boy or girl may stumble upon the cavern under the hazel tree and wake Arthur and the Arthurian legend will be
