The Once & Future King
Author: T. H. White
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551999145
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 705
Book Description
The definitive modern take on the timeless tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round table. The legends of King Arthur date back to medieval Europe, and have become some of the dominant myths of Western culture. In The Once & Future King, T. H. White reinvents the story for a modern audience. The novel starts by introducing the reader to a young Arthur – just a child, and far from the King he will become – as he is raised by the wizard Merlyn, and moves on to chronicle his rise to Kingship, the affair between Guinevere and Lancelot, and the eventual destruction of the round table. The first section, released independently as The Sword in the Stone, was adapted into an animated film by Walt Disney Pictures. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.

Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country
Author: Rosalind Miles
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307420825
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Camelot--a vibrant pageant of love, heartbreak, hatred, jealousy, revenge, and desire--as seen through the eyes of its queen, Guenevere Raised in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Country, Princess Guenevere has led a charmed and contented life, until the sudden, violent death of her mother, Queen Maire, leaves the Summer Country teetering on the brink of anarchy. Only the miraculous arrival of Arthur, heir to the Pendragon dynasty, allows Guenevere to claim her mother's throne. Smitten by the bold, sensuous princess, Arthur offers to marry her and unite their territory while still allowing her to rule in her own right. Their love match creates the largest and most powerful kingdom in the Isles. Arthur's glorious rule begins to crumble, however, when he is reunited with his mother and his long-lost half-sisters, Morgause and Morgan. Before Arthur's birth, his father--the savage and unscrupulous King Uther--banished his wife's young daughters, selling Morgause into a cruel marriage and imprisoning Morgan in a far-off convent. Both daughters will avenge their suffering, but it is Morgan who strikes the deadliest blows against the King and Queen, using her evil enchantments to destroy all Guenevere holds dear. When the Queen flees to Avalon, Morgan casts a spell on Arthur and seduces him. In the chaos that follows his betrayal, Arthur sends a new courtier to protect Guenevere, the young French knight Lancelot. Her loyalty to Arthur already destroyed, Guenevere falls in love with Lancelot, a love that may spell ruin for Camelot.

The Tree of Family Life Trilogy
Author: Eva Jordan
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504073908
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1333
Book Description
The funny, poignant trilogy following a modern British mother as she shepherds her kids through adolescence into adulthood, in one volume. These three novels chronicle the ups and downs of Lizzie as she navigates motherhood (and stepmotherhood) and her loving, if sometimes dysfunctional, relationships with Cassie, Connor, and Maisy—along with her job at the library, the needs of her ailing mum, and the yearnings of her own heart. Includes: 183 Times a Year Teenage Cassie, Lizzie’s selfie-taking, social media-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life and wishes her parents had never divorced. But when the discovery of a terrible betrayal and a brutal attack throws the household into disarray, both Cassie and Lizzie must reassess what’s important as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery. All the Colours In Between Lizzie is pushing fifty, and her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest—Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia—leaving only the less-troublesome Connor to take care of. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But then a visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. Add an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, and a new man, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you’re busy making plans. Time Will Tell Lizzie has become a writer, and in her spare time she does all she can to keep her family—still grieving a recent loss—together. But then, the suspicious death of a celebrity brings a shock to everyone. A troubling personal connection to the dead man will lead to fear, mistrust, and a mystery reaching back into the past . . .
