Mists of Avalon


Mists of Avalon


"Morgain le Fay was not married, but put to school in a nunnery, where she became a great mistress of magic."
-Mallory, Morte d'Arthur

Mists of Avalon is a best-selling 876 page book by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It is one of those rare, spell binding novels in which myth comes to life, and magic flows out to all of us.

It vividly tells the magical legend of King Arthur through the eyes of two women. There is the darkly bewitching Morgaine, half sister to Arthur and a high priestess of Avalon. For Morgaine, there is only one quest- to keep Christianity out of Britain, and return it to worship of the Mother Goddess. The lovely Queen Gwenhwyfar is torn between her duty to her king and God, and her passion for the dashing Lancelet.

You are individual number to the Mists of Avalon site since I moved to Fortunecity in April 1998.

final MZB health update: Marion Zimmer Bradley suffered a major heart attack on Tuesday, September 21 and died Saturday, September 25, 1999. sniff.

I just found out about an AMAZING, huge and cool website with a ton of Morgaine stuff on it, created by Gien Jansen

Another Mists of Avalon page is in the works, created by Chelsea King! It?s called Avalon . I haven?t seen it yet- can?t access Geocities for some reason, and Chelsea told me it?s under construction, but thought I'd put a link anyway... Enjoy!

Here's a review of MISTS from Smart Girl- reviews by grrls, for grrls.

Check out The Sisterhood of Avalon, which has a lot of good info.

A home page by Christian Lautner has some stuff about Mists of Avalon- check it out: http://home.pages.de/~Honigmacher but it?s in German, so this will only apply to those who speak German, obviously!

Another German-related item.. Mara is a German student who would like to exchange books with someone- she sends the German and they send the English. That way you get the book and only pay for the postage.
