Black Horses for the King --- Ann McCaffrey --- an exploration of why so many taverns in England are named for black horses
Excalibur --- Elizabeth Ann Scarborough --- the Welsh in pre-Columbus America

and I'll second the suggestions of Susan Cooper's _The Dark is Rising_ pentalogy --- one of my favourite series and Gillian Bradshaw's books.
Thanks for the alternative 'Arthur' suggestions. Looks interesting!

I'll third 'The dark is rising'. Brilliant series.
