SCOTTISH BOOKS FOR A RAINY DAY The Camulod Chronicles
By Jack Whyte Reviewed by Sharma Krauskopf and rated Jack Whyte is a master story teller and his "Camulod Chronicles" tell the story of the founding of King Arthur's Britain. A big concern when I began these books was knowing the story of King Arthur would lessen my enjoyment of these novels. This did not happen in fact I did not want to quit reading at 2:00 am. The author is totally in control of his art. The characters are alive and the stories related depict the complete story of King Arthur which none of us have considered or heard before. Yes, they are works of fiction but since it was so long ago how do we know Jack Whyte is not correct. There are four volumes currently available. Volume One - The Skystone, Volume Two The Singing Sword, Volume Three - The Eagles Brood and Volume Four - The Saxon Shore. You will want to read all of them. They are all available from amazon.com and we have put in links so you can order them. The Skystone - The Forging of Arthur's Britain 367 A.D. We all know the storyhow Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, how Camelot came to be, and the power struggles that ultimately destroyed Arthur's dreams. But what of the time before Arthur? What were the forces that helped create him? | |
