Ashley, writer and editor of more than 20 books, follows up on his successful The Pendragon Chronicles ( LJ 4/15/90) with this second Arthurian collection. Eighteen entries by such well-known Arthurian writers as Howard Pyle, Phyllis Ann Kerr, Keith Taylor, and Jane Yolen are included, with unexpected contributions by P.G. Wodehouse and Hilaire Belloc. Eight of the stories have never been published before, and four of those were written specifically for this compilation. The tales range in time from Dark Age Britain to the merry old England of Robin Hood to the Elizabethan period, and most have a dreamlike quality that is captivating. The reader simply must keep turning pages. Recommended for general readers as well as fantasy fans; a great introduction for YAs with interest in the "Matter of Britain."-- Pamela A. Grudzien, Central Michigan Univ., Mt. Pleasant

Arthurian Short Stories Worth Reading,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Camelot Chronicles: Heroic Adventures from the Age of Legend (Paperback)
The second in a series edited by Mike Ashley. The Camelot Chronicles contains many short stories of Arthurian theme, ranging from the classics like Tristan and Iseult to more comical and modern stires with Arthurian themes like Sir Borlays and the Dark Knight by Anthony Armstrong. If you are new to Arthurian literature, would like to get some exposure, or are a student and would like a nice anthology of short stories, Ashley delivers in a very readable and enjoyable way.
