Kingdom of Summer
AuthorGillian Bradshaw
ISBN0553299646
My wife and I just finished reading this worthy follow-up to Bradshaw's great novel, Hawk of May. In fact, I like this one considerably better than Hawk of May.

The Kingdom of Summer continues the story of Gwalchmai and Arthur's warriors, but this time it is from the perspective of a simple Christian...

The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends
AuthorRonan Coghlan
ISBN1566198763
Often plundered and even plagiarised – frequently online and most notably in print by Mike Dixon-Kennedy in his Arthurian Myth and Legend: an A-Z of People and Places (1996) – this was the first really accessible dictionary of Arthurian personages, locales and other miscellanea. While not an...

Sarah Zettel's In Camelot's Shadow is an enticing romantic fantasy set in Arthurian England that explores the legend of Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady. When Gawain, King Arthur's handsome and promiscuous nephew, saves a beautiful maiden from a sorcerer, will his...
Guinevere: The Legend in Autumn
AuthorPersia Woolley
ISBN0671708325
Giving a new viewpoint to the Arthur legend, Persia Woolley creates an enchanting and believable tale. Guinevere, The Legend In Autumn is told from Guinevere's perspective.

Arthur Rex
AuthorThomas Berger
ISBN0440500508
I came across Arthur Rex twenty seven years ago, in my high school library. That day I discovered two things: the joy of browsing stacks and finding random gems, and the joy of reading Thomas Berger.

Arthur Rex was like no other book I’d ever read, (nor was it like any other Berger wrote, I’d...

Shadow of the King
AuthorHelen Hollick
ISBN1906236666
It is always a risk to try to write a new take on the Camelot legend. I gave this trilogy the 4 stars because this is one of the few books about King Arthur who has no magic, fantasy, and very little mythology and the efforts the author has invested in reading various chronicles and wants to portray Arthur as...
