Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Song of the Sparrow

The year is 490 AD. Fiery 16-year-old Elaine of Ascolat, the daughter of one of King Arthur's supporters, lives with her father on Arthur's base camp, the sole girl in a militaristic world of men. Elaine's only girl companion is the mysterious Morgan, Arthur's older sister, but Elaine cannot tell Morgan her deepest secret: She is in love with Lancelot, Arthur's second-in-command. However, when yet another girl -- the lovely Gwynivere-- joins their world, Elaine is confronted with startling emotions of jealousy and rivalry. But can her love for Lancelot survive the birth of an empire?

Critique Regarding Books Song of the Sparrow

There she weaves by night and day A magic web with colours gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott. Alfred, Lord Tennyson The Lady of Shalott (1832) I didn't get hooked into Arthurian legends by reading, it was actually the 1995 feature length film First Knight and the performances of Sean Connery, Julia Ormond, and Richard

Originally reviewed here.So this is a book I've spent a lot of time talking about. Chances are, if you've hung around these parts, you've heard me push it. But I actually read it for the first time way back in the olden days before the blog was, well, what it is now. I read it shortly after it was first published, back in 2007, when I was writing monthly posts, mere collections of mini-reviews. So SONG OF THE SPARROW got shortchanged. The fun thing is lots of friends have read (and reviewed) it

Originally posted here.Song of the Sparrow is based on Alfred Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott, an Arthurian poem about Elaine of Ascolat. I've never read a novel in verse before and I thought it would be a good idea to start with this one because I like the premise. I don't read a lot of Arthurian tales either although I remember reading Le Morte d'Arthur for English back in high school and I love Elizabeth E. Wein's books. When I saw an inexpensive used copy from Julie's Sari-Sari Store, I

My Arthurian knowledge is very limited. I really only know what I have picked up in snippets from other books or television; which honestly wasnt very much. I had no idea that Elaine had even existed, and I only knew of Tristan from that movie with Heath Ledger; which I hadnt watched :D.Okay so long story short, this was a fantastic first introduction for me. The pace was fast and easy, it flowed really well; and despite my worry that I wouldnt connect with the characters because of the format

-Elaine of Ascolat, better known as The Lady of Shalott, is the main character in this new telling of Arthurian legend. -It is told in prose.-It is advertised as more of a romance than anything else, but it is much more than that, the story of a girl becoming a woman, a soldier, and a friend. -I LOVE ARTHURIAN MYTH SO MUCH!!! -Not very accurate on the Gwynivere canon.-Or the original canon, but most works don't follow it, so there is that. -Cool characters that have HONOURRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I loved this book. I was a bit worried about the poem structure and I was also worried because it was about Lady Elaine. But I really could admire Elaine and her courage. And I could follow the book just fine. I really liked that the men were very chilvaric and honorable. The few women that were in the story were not pathetic and swooning all the time. They actually played a big part in Arthur's success. Elaine helped in a realistic way during that period in time. After I finished reading it I

I have a weakness for stories told in verse.
