"An absorbing portrait of the Arthurian age."
-San Francisco Chronicle
Among the first to look at the story of Camelot through Guinevere's eyes, Woolley sets the traditional tale in the time of its origin, after Britain has shattered into warring fiefdoms. Hampered by neither fantasy nor medieval romance, this young Guinevere is a feisty Celtic tomboy who sees no reason why she must learn to speak Latin, wear dresses, and go south to marry that king. But legends being what they are, the story of Arthur's rise to power soon intrigues her, and when they finally meet, Guinevere and Arthur form a partnership that has lasted for 1500 years.
This is Arthurian epic at its best-filled with romance, adventure, authentic Dark Ages detail, and wonderfully human people.
Praise for Persia Woolley's Guinevere Trilogy

"Vividly re-creates sixth-century Britain in the throes of change...Child of the Northern Spring portrays a sensitive young woman who will appeal to modern readers."

This is a Guinevere that makes sense. Strong, feisty, intelligent, loving & adored - a true Queen! Packed with historical detail : Child of the Northern Spring: Book One of the Guinevere Trilogy
I have to state up front that I love all tales Arthur. This book takes a new look by telling the legend from Guinevere's point of view. How refreshing! It was such a delight to meet her as a young girl, then a strong young woman riding out to meet her fate with questions and a bit of disquiet at leaving all she knows.
The book is written in such an easy way I found myself lost in the story; lost in time. I found that I really enjoyed getting to know this Guinevere. Most times when reading of Arthur Guinevere is an adjunct to him rather than her own person. In this book, the first of a trilogy, she is definitely as in charge as she can be.
I am very much looking forward to the next books so I can follow her adventure. It will be interesting to see how Ms. Woolley writes of Lancelot and all that befalls Camelot from Guinevere's point of view.
