Angelica Harris is a domestic abuse survivor, and much of her own life’s healing has come through writing. Her recent book, Excalibur Reclaims Her King, is the story of a modern day mother sent back to 6th Century to heal Merlin and raise King Arthur from the dead.

One of the ones I did get was The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart, after reading Aarti's great review of it. Of course I also got The Mists of Avalon as well, but I haven't yet started either. I am looking forward to trying them out and maybe adding a few from this list to my collection.

Other Arthurian books I've enjoyed are The Mists of Avalon, and the Mary Stuart trilogy (The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment).<br /><br />Another interesting twist on the Arthur legend is The Lyre of Orpheus by Robertson Davies, where all of the modern-day characters have Arthurian parallels.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390357169573998035noreply@blogger.com
