Alatar, I thank you! :bow: <--- thanking Al

I read The Mists of Avalon a very long time ago and was absolutely mesmerised by it. There were no other books surrounding it at the time, and no plans for more that I could find (this was pre-internet) so I sadly adjusted to just the one. So the news that there are two prequels is very exciting for me! (though I wonder where they could possibly begin? The book as it exists seems perfect and whole in its re-telling of the Arthur myth. How exciting!)

I will go out and find them as soon as may be!

Di, I also would strongly urge you to read it! It does for Arthur what The Red Tent does for Isaac and Jacob!
Mornings wouldn't suck so badly if they came later in the day.

I know a lot of people who've read Mists of Avalon, but I never have.

Sounds like I should. :D
