Are there any good novels based on Arthurian legend?

There are a ton out there. A few of my favorites:

- The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

- The Crystal Cave (first of the Merlin trilogy) by Mary Stewart

- The Once and Future King by T.H. White

I also have The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell and Avalon by Anya Seton on my to-be-read pile. Both sound good.

The Age of Chivalry

Thomas Bulfinch's masterpiece of history and fable, recounts the tales of Arthur and the Round Table. A timeless tale retold by Milton, Dryden, Tennyson, and writers before and since, the Arthurian legend has metamorphosed from medieval Welsh texts to the French vernacular romances of Chrtien de Troyes; from obscure histories of a British chieftain of the fifth or sixth century, to a chronicle of the advent of Christendom in the British Isles.

Gerald Morris writes really good books based on Arthurian legend. I particularly like The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf.

There's a series that has Taliesan in it that's good, by Stephen somebody-. - Lawhead, maybe? I liked the Crystal Cave and the Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart, too.

Action type? well The Secret of Excalibur gives a good read , for me at least ( bit of swearing, but nothing not met in everyday things).

Author Andy McDermott.
