EXCALIBUR: A NOVEL OF ARTHUR

This final installment of Cornwell's trilogy of the epic of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a monumental story of love and war. Pigott-Smith, a British actor, is up to the task. His baritone voice thunders when necessay and is dramatic, intense and legendary! He is outstanding when reading Merlin. Merlin, derisive of mere mortals, has formed a terrible pact with Mordred to bring the Druidic gods down on Arthur. He can be foiled only if Arthur is baptised into Christianity. Pigott-Smith and Cornwell transport the listener to Camelot as deftly as a motion picture. S.C.A. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 99]
