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.

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.

Fresh take on an ancient tale.

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.

The Supreme Telling!

This is an incredible bokk, and narrated beautifully here by divina porter. With rich, complex characters and a story which transcends time, this book takes the reader on a journey of history and fantasy, folklore and faith, human and divine. I will always cherish it.

Beautiful, deep, and touching
