The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. If you abstained from bookstores and the arts section of your favorite local newspaper or national news magazine in the mid 1980s, you may have missed hearing about this book. Its the story of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the rest of the Knights of the Round Table, but told from the point of view of the women in the story: Arthurs mother Ygraine, Guinevere, Morgan Le Fay , and Vivianne, the Lady of the Lake. The love between Guinevere and Lancelot has never been more beautifully told, and some interesting subtle details have been added. And dont forget, Ygraine fell in love with Uther Pendragon, Arthurs father, when she was still married to another man. You know, I havent read that book in at least a decade, maybe longer I think its time to pull it off the shelf for an enjoyable re-read.
Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson. What Marion Zimmer Bradley did for Arthur and Guinevere, Roberson did for Robin Hood and Maid Marian. The book is long, but the timeframe of the story lasts maybe a week. And its all in there: how Robin and Marian met, their instant infatuation, and, of course, lots of complications thanks to the Sheriff of Nottingham. Hmm. I havent read that one in a while either...
