About This Item
Headline, London, 1992. Reprint. Hardcover. Good/Good. 'I am Morgan the Fay. The wicked witch, the embodiment of evil. And yet. I am the queen who takes Arthur in my arms for healing. Some editing of the story will clearly be necessary.' Morgan stands by Dozmary Pool after the Battle of Camlann, pleading with the dying Arthur to trust her. Only she can heal him. Is her price too high? As she retraces the bitterness and misunderstanding between them, she throws new light on the tales which the first four narrators have told. But that's not all. There have been countless other versions of her story, from prehistoric myths to contemporary novels. With scornful irony Morgan show us how their authors have changed her from a wise and healing ruler to a malignant sorceress and derided temptress. Can Arthur see the truth in time? For some reason, a previous owner has put about an inch of clear tape on the front & rear flap of the dust jacket in the middle adhering it to the pastedowns. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 308 pages. Dust jacket has wear, some chips & tears, some marking as well as bumping and shelf-wear.. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Edges foxed and browned.
