Description

Highlighting the complicated, male-oriented gaze of most myths and legends, Morgana le Fay is a wonderful mirror-ball of stories uncovering the mysteries of a fascinating and powerful woman.

Morgana is a mysterious figure of Arthurian legend, found in Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur, she is variously described as half-sister of King Arthur, jilted lover of Lancelot, a foil of Merlin. A witch, a healer, she has deep roots in Celtic mythology and offers a fascinating canvas for the many writers in this new book. Created through open submissions and supported by an extensive introduction examining the origins of Morgana le Fay, is a wonderful new book in the best tradition of Flame Tree's collectable hardcover editions.
