Think of Camelot and it’s probably Arthur and his knights that come to mind – Lancelot, Gawain, Mordred and all who sat at the round table. But what of the women – the mothers, wives and daughters? Mary Hoffman retells their stories in her collection Queen Guinevere and Other Stories from the Court of King Arthur, and what stories they are, stories of power, love, courage, loyalty, bravery and magic, at least the equals for excitement of any of the stories of the men. It’s a collection that will thrill readers of all ages, and both sexes. Christina Balit’s dramatic illustrations match the tone perfectly.
