Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA?Returning to the era of Arthur and his Camelot, Stewart has given life to two lesser-known characters from Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. She enlarges upon and gives wonderful detail to Alexander, a young prince who sets off on a quest to avenge his father's assassination and to Alice, a gentle young lass who accompanies her father on pilgrimages to Holy shrines. Their stories are told in five alternating chapters until they meet, fall in love, and vanquish the foe in the exciting climax. Interwoven within the plot are background details on other characters and the complex legends of the period, especially evil Queen Morgan Le Fay, who detains Alexander for her own greedy purposes. A British map (same one several times) appears frequently to identify various locales, and one family tree assists readers, but there is no preliminary list of characters to help keep the participants in mind. The appended author's notes and the legend itself are interesting and help pull everything together once the story has concluded. A light fantasy for fans of this period.?Claudia Moore, W. T.

From AudioFile
Nothing is friendlier to reading aloud than classic storytelling and the vivid narration of colorful events. Author Mary Stewart has again mined the rich vein of Arthurian Britain for the magical events of this tale. Reader Richard Mitchley is pleasantly effortless to listen to as he deftly follows the pace and mood of the text without attempting to place a personal stamp on it--a cultivated reader, he focuses on craft, rather than display. He differentiates character voices lightly but delivers every word of dialogue with such naturalness and conviction that the listener never feels anything is missing. This is genre entertainment that does what it does "excellent well." J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
