Song of the Sparrow, Lisa Ann Sandell
This is an interesting book as well. This story, written in verse, is about Elaine (Elaine of Ascolat, Lady of Shallot ... there are other tales told of her) ... a 16 year old girl who lives in a camp with her father, brothers, and about 350 other soldiers .... included in that group are Arthur, Lancelot, Tristan and others. She has lived there for many years, since her mother's tragic death, and has become a dear friend to everyone in the camp. She believes she is in love with Lancelot, but when Gwynivere arrives at the camp, and Lancelot seems entranced, she knows that love may never be returned. So she concocts a plan that not only gets herself into grave danger, but also Gwynivere.
This is a quick read, but it held me captivated until the very end. It is interesting how the author, Lisa Ann Sandell took this familiar tale of Arthur and the knights of the round table, and turned it into something different but still familiar. I really enjoyed reading it.
