Guinevere's Tale - By: rhinoa, 21 Aug 2007 
This tells the Arthurian myths from the perspective of Guinevere which is a new take for me. It was very compelling & well written. Lancelot says "strewth" at the end which kind of ruins it a little though!
In this version Guinevere never sleeps with Lancelot & Mordred was never evil. Many other versions also put Guinevere as a devout christian, which is left out of this version as well. About halfway through I felt like the whole tale had been told & I was wondering what was left to say for the last 400 pages. It was worth sticking with though.
It is firmly based on Mary Wesley's Merlin trilogy, which it sadly does not better.
Good old Gwen faithful till the end - By: Jill, 16 Aug 2007 
One of my favourite books. The way its written shows the development of a young girl who dreams of playing with friends & a happy life into the Queen of Camelot. Mckenzie realisticly conveys the life of Gwen & Arthur. The uthor has a talent for illustratin the time & period of England. She asl manages to weavein subplots & themes of the other major charactorsin this well known legend.
This is a must for all lovers of the legend of the knights & the round
A great retelling of the Arthurian Saga - By: Misfit, 31 Jan 2007 Wonderful book. The Arthur legends as told from the viewpoint of Guinevere, a beautiful, strong, courageous woman & her heartbreaking love of two men - Lancelot & Arthur. We see Guinevere grow from a young girl to the most beautiful womanin England.
An exciting tale & the love she bears for both Lancelot & Arthur - & the love they both return to her made for an engrossing book.Don't pick this one upin the middle of the night thinking you'll read a couple of chapters & be able to go back to sleep. This book cost me a few hours of sleep, but was well worth it. Highly recommended.
One of these books that always makes me cry... - By: Sophie, 11 Jun 2006 Nancy Mc Kenzie has succeededin crafting a beautiful story of Arthur & Camelot as told from the perspective of his Queen. Guinevere, as a young woman, is brought to Camelot to be the wife of a man she has never met. The hero of dozens of stories & songs she has grown up surrounded by is just as his reputation has led her to believe, & all would be well without the meddlings of Guinevere's bitter cousin Elaine, who had hoped to marry Arthur herself. A story of love, lust, honour & betrayal, it is incredibly re readable & beautifully sad. Told from a woman's perspective it features less of the famous & brutal battles of Arthurian legend, & more of lifein Camelot; of the characters & relationships of Guinevere, Arthur, Lancelot, Morgause & Mordred as Guinevere struggles to procure an heir for the High King & come to terms with the dark secrets of her husband's past.
Queen of Camelot a gripping tale - By: , 15 Apr 2003 Whether the historical information is correct, I am not sure, but I picked this book on a whim & it gripped me from beginning to end! A novel based historical look at what could of happened portraying Guinereve & Arthurin a compelling way. Well worth the read, & I look forward to reading some more from Nancy McKenzie!
