I have always loved stories that connect me to the magical era of King Arthur. This book is a great read. It is obvious to me that Harris has done a great deal of research, and it shows. I understand that her next book is equally dedicated to reserach. I also loved the flow of this story...so much so that it inspired me to write a non-fiction narrartive. Angelica is a wonderful author, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a touch of magic backed up by solid history.

This review is from: THE QUEST for EXCALIBUR (Paperback)

I really enjoyed reading Quest for Excalibur. Author Angelica Harris has truly put her heart and soul into this novel, writing the tale of an overwhelmed but loving mother with family health problems who struggles to get away from it all - which mirrors Harris' true life situation. In the story, Arianna is whisked away to the past where she confronts King Arthur and the prized sword - Excalibur. A true history buff, Arianna knows what will happen next even before the King, and comes to know and love the people she comes to meet. The fighting sequences are well developed, as are the details of Arianna's broken spirit and newly revived gusto for life. Not knowing much about King Arthur myself, I learned everything I now know from this book. Harris makes the reader feel as if they are whisked away to the 5th century themselves, as she brings the characters to life. The story is easy to read and not bogged down with historical details. Instead, the historical details subtly arise through dialogue and action. I recommend this book to readers of all ages. It is a story of hope and survival and renewing your love for life and family.

With courageous strokes, great passion and a fire for honor, Arianna Lawrence fights for her family from the present by journeying back in time and fighting for the people of Camelot. A beautiful story for people of all ages, "The Quest for Excalibur" takes us back in time to the legend of the Sword in the Stone, the Knights of the Round Table, Arthur, Galahad and Merlin. Our favorite figures are reborn in the telling of this magical tale that unites answers from the past with questions of today. A book for Mothers in need of adventure, Husbands who wish to awaken the spirit of their wives and young audiences that love the thrill of the Arthurian legend, "The Quest for Excalibur" is a book to be revered for its courage, and Angelica Harris, a writer to be honored for having the courage to expose her truth.
