YOUNG GUINEVERE

Well-known elements of the King Arthur legend--the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone, and Merlin--mesh perfectly with new images of the young Guinevere, independent, compassionate and brave, before she meets Arthur. British narrator Virginia Leishman engages listeners, taking them back to another land and time. Her expressive portrayal of Guinevere and her father, Arthur, and others wonderfully animates San Souci's beautifully written, compelling story. An epilogue summarizes Guinevere's future and whets the appetite for more about her and the Knights of the Round Table. While the story is intended for young readers, listeners of all ages will enjoy this flawlessly narrated complement to the Arthur legends. J.H.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 97]
