Here Lies Arthur

(1) YA Narrator Gwyna is rescued by scheming storyteller Myrddin after Arthur's soldiers burn her home. She joins Arthur's band, first disguised as a boy, then as handmaiden to Gwenhwyfar. Reeve's characters remain true to themselves within an ever-intensifying plot. Touchstones of Arthurian legend are cleverly alluded to throughout. The relationship between story and history, myth and reality, is richly explored in this brilliant, brutal re-creation.
