Queen Guinevere by Mary Hoffman

A retelling of the tales surrounding Britain's legendary King Arthur, told from the perspective of eight women. Determined and resourceful, they drive the Camelot story through love, hate, intrigue, enchantment and tragedy as, one by one, their voices come swirling out of the mists of time.
There were some very powerful women at Camelot and this book redresses the balance with all those heroic knightsChristina Balit's illustrations are pretty scary and characters like Morgan le Fay, Morgause and Nime will delight feisty girls.
