About this listen
A posthumous recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, Marion Zimmer Bradley reinvented - and rejuvenated - the King Arthur mythos with her extraordinary Mists of Avalon series. In this epic work, Bradley follows the arc of the timeless tale from the perspective of its previously marginalized female characters: Celtic priestess Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar, and High Priestess Viviane.

Women in the Arthur legend.
The power struggle between the old religions and the beginnings of Christianity set in the context of the loss of autonomy for women is thought provoking. The legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is fleshed out and given a depth of setting and circumstances as well as a new perspective. The characters are finely drawn and the themes are intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I first read it some 40 years ago and I’m delighted to enjoy this audible version.

Fresh take on an ancient tale.
This is the story of Arthur and Camelot from a fresh perspective. Forget all you thought you knew about this legend and be prepared to be amazed. The baddies may not be the characters you once believed they were.

The Supreme Telling!
This book is so much more than a simple re-telling of the arhurian legends. Set properly in its historical context, it raises issues of religious faith, gender relations, temporal power, zealots and wisdom in a time of epochal change. It is poetic and engaging and very, very moving.

Listened to this at least 15 times and it gets better every time.
I have seriously listened to this book at least 15 times (probably closer to 20) and every time I listen I love the story more. Such a creative and thought provoking version of a legend that so many people know so well. It has truly inspired me and changed my perspective on so many things.
