Inscribed first printing of Bradley's influential re-evaluation of Arthurian legend.
Fine in fine jacket.
Price: $900.00
THE MISTS OF AVALON breathes life into the character of Morgan le Fay and other women in the Arthurian cycle who traditionally had not been drawn with such complexity. The book was welcomed as a major new interpretation of the centuries-old mythos, epic in scale and dramatically wrought. Once venerated as a revisionist feminist classic, THE MISTS OF AVALON is perhaps the most likely of Bradley's many works to survive the destruction of her personal legacy.
