Publisher's Summary

A posthumous recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, Marion Zimmer Bradley reinvented - and rejuvenated - the King Arthur mythos with her extraordinary Mists of Avalon series. In this epic work, Bradley follows the arc of the timeless tale from the perspective of its previously marginalized female characters: Celtic priestess Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar, and High Priestess Viviane.

Great long listen.

A story to get wound up in, one that had me simultaneously researching further into the era as I found myself though-ally carried by this entwinement of women’s lives.

Camelot brought to life

What an incredible world the author created. The characters were full of personality and I loved how the world of Camelot, Merlin, and Arthur were all brought to life for the reader.

My Years as the Lady of the Lake

When I awoke the morning after I finished listening to the full three volume series of THE MISTS OF AVALON. I felt as if I had just returned from decades of passing to and fro through the mists of the enchanted isle, that I had viewed ancient Britain, Camelot, the long peaceful reign of King Arthur,and lived the passion, power, love, devotion, betrayal and discoveries that truly lived between the pages of this book.

Epic!

An amazing story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable as told by the women who were there.

Davina Porter performs incredibly giving a unique voice to each of the vast amount of characters.

I cannot recommend this audiobook enough. This is not to be missed.

Great story and performance

Classic story so well written. I very much enjoyed this. I read the book when I was a young girl and to have it told to me again I learned so many new insights

Great value!

Completely engrossing. Hours and hours and hours of wonderful entertainment. I ended up listening to the rest of the series, prequels, as the whole theme caught my interest.

A great spin on the classic tale.

I truly enjoyed this story. Well written and well read. I am glad that all the books in this series were included and read in one purchase.

The mists come alive

One of my favourite books ever, the audio done very, very well. I read the book years ago and listening to it gave me a different experience and captured moments I may otherwise have missed in the many nuances of the story.

This book is my all time favorite

I read this book when I was young and fell in love. To this day it is still my favorite. The magic and beauty in it is breathtaking. I highly recommend both the audible and the book. Take your time with it, it's an adventure. #Audible1
