description: King Arthur is gone now. His Order has been relegated to legend. And I alone survive to tell the tales of that fabulous and mystical time, when men ruled and fought but women shaped the destiny of that place called Camelot. In The Girl s King Arthur , an original retelling of the Arthurian stories introduced by the Lady of the Lake, Barbara Tepa Lupack recounts the tales of Guinevere, Elaine of Astolat, Iseult, Vivien, Morgan le Fay and the other legendary women who had a hand in the making and unmaking of Camelot. Told by the women in their own distinctive voices, the stories offer a nontraditional perspective on the familiar tales by emphasizing female achievement. They also paint an exciting new picture of the Arthurian world a world of magic, both black and white; of loyalties, both binding and broken; and of dreams, both frustrated and fulfilled. An invaluable counterpart to The Boy s King Arthur , this volume is sure to delight readers, young and old. For readers 10 and up.
