The Book of Guinevere: Legendary Queen of Camelot

The enduring mysteries and romance of Arthurian legend have continued to captivate and intrigue from the Middle Ages onward. The enigma of Guinevere, a beautiful and courageous queen or a disgraced adulteress, has received less attention than the achievements of King Arthur, the adventures of the noble Sir Lancelot and other knights, the magic of Merlin, or the sorcery of Morgan Le Fay.
