At Last, Camelot from Gwen's Point of View!

I love reading the Arthurian Legends from a "woman's point of view." I loved Mists of Avalon because of that feature, and I adored these books about Guinevere. I knew there had to be more to her than traditional Camelot portrayals! I am surprised the 3 books in this series are out of print. I was lucky enough to find the first 2 (Child of the Northern Spring one year and Queen of the Summer Stars the next year) in hardcover on a clearance book cart at 2 different locations! What a treat! I had to order this final one in paperback. Each time I got the next book I went back and re-read the previous one, until finally, when I bought Legend in Autumn I re-read all 3 one after the other. I was sorry to see it end. I am not sure if Persia Woolley will write anymore, but if she does I am certainly a fan. Thanks for a great series!

best series ever

This book was FANTASTIC!!! I am an avide reader, and can honestly say that the three books in this series were the best I have read in many years. I laughed and cried and sat up till the wee hours of the morning not wanting to put down these books. The storie put such an increadable spin on the King Arthur tails, and made me want to read everything I can find on the ancient Celts. The only negative thing I could say about the series is that it is probably more of a "Chic" book than something a guy would get into.

WHY is this trilogy out of print?

It baffles me that my favourite series is out of print! This trilogy is refreshingly told from the perspective of Guinevere, starting with "Child of the Northern Spring," continuing in "Queen of the Summer Stars," and finally culminating in "Guinevere: The Legend in Autumn." This book is fabulous, but to fully appreciate it, you must begin at the beginning. Persia Woolley's portrayal of Arthur's queen will have you laughing and crying through most of her life, so get this book! Don't be discouraged that it's out of print--it's wonderful!!!

The best trilogy ever

This book was masterfully written,it matches up to the other two in her trilogy. This is my favorite aurthor. It has all of the romance and adventure, everyone should read all three of these books. She should recieve an award, Guinevere, Aurthor, and Lancealot are beautifully painted.

Masterful conclusion of the Guinevere trilogy

Ms. Woolley's conclusion of her trilogy is spellbinding and heartbreaking, following Gwen's life's journey in a clear and beautiful first-person narrative.
