Summary: 7 different sides of Camelot...
Comment: A masterful mix of seven radically different stories about Camelot, this anthology makes itself stand out from all the other books in a few ways. One way is that very few of these stories feature Arthur in the very traditional "Excalibur" type of way. If you've read a lot about the legend and want a change, this book would be a good choice for you. If you like a very traditional style of Arthurian story, than by the book for "The Feasting of the Hungry Man" by Ian McDowell. A bloody brilliant story that stars Mordred, it's a true gem and one of the reasons I gave this book as many starts as I did.
The seven stories the book features are:
·The Raven's Quest by Fiona Patton- a wonderful story with a very 'fairytale' feel to it.
·The Queen's Broidery Woman by Nancy Springer- a small familiarity with Greek or Roman myth might be helpful with this one.
·The Architect of Worlds by Brian Stableford- is a nice little story about Merlin and Morgana.
·The Bridge of Fire by Mike Ashley- features a few lesser known knights defending Lancelot when he is accused of infidelity with the Queen.
·The Feasting of the Hungry Man by Ian McDowell- this is my favorite from this anthology. The writing is great and the characters fun. You have to give this one a read!
·Builder of Keeps by Gregory Maguire- is another look a Merlin and Morgana's role in Camelot.
·The Sword of the North by Rosemary Edghill- is a Native American look at Camelot.
A few of the stories drag but all and all it's worth purchasing!

Summary: Highly Recommend
Comment: This was an entertaining bunch of short stories about Camelot. Eachstory is different, with a different take on the legend.
