Everyone knows the story of Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. It's the story of mighty and chivalrous knights having adventures under the reign of the just King Arthur. It's the story of the love affair between Lancelot and Guenever. And it's the story of Arthur's fall at the hands of his son, Mordred. T. H. White has taken the famous text Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Malory and re-written it in four parts: Aurthur's childhood, his early kingship and the young lives of the Orkney clan, Lancelot's adventures and his relationship with Guenever, and the fall of the Round Table.

Suggested book for September, 2011
Genre: Fantasy
Discover an entrancing world in Anne Bishop's Daughter of the Blood. It's the first installment in the Black Jewels trilogy, and it launches readers into a darkly erotic world of seduction, intrigue, and fated love. After centuries of slavery, Daemon Sadi and Lucivar Yaslana are given new hope: a prophecy of the coming of a new queen, one fated to be more powerful than any in history. Join them as they search for the woman who will set them free. Just remember, among the Blood, there is no law against murder.
