I started with Bernard Cornwall's The Winter King and it had been so long since I had read it that I only remember the broad outline of the story. It's told from the point of view of one of Arthur's men and takes place in the late 400's after the Romans have left England. Very brutal, but also full of magic and wonder. From there I went to his Enemy of God and after that will be Excaliber. While reading this series I'm also working my way through The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends and The Arthurian Book of Days.
A lot of reading, and after that I still have another half dozen or so Arthurian books. So I'm going to be busy, but not busy buying books. Amazon would think I had deserted them but I keep adding books to my wish list so I can keep track of them.
Wow you've been a busy reader. I've been so caught up in blogging lately that I've hardly had time for books!
ReplyDeleteMy stack of books at home is getting shorter, too. I feel like I'm getting something done, reading all the books I've bought!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to catch up on some of my own pile of unread books but seeing all your Arthurian titles is putting temptation in my way! I've never read The Winter King - it's a wonderful title for a book.
