This tale brings together the Lady of the Lake and Joseph of Arimathea, entwined with the legend of the holy grail, the fall of the ancient Britains to the Romans, and the dawning of Christianity in a far flung country. It's a simple, yet enchanting tale of love slowly recaptured between the two main characters, and about how these other events has brought them together.

I'm not really sure how to sum up this book. I enjoyed it, that's for certain. But having finished it, I wasn't left with a feeling of elation, yet I wasn't left with a feeling of disappointment.

Oh dear.

I bought this, along with its sister book 'The Apple & the Thorn' when they were being offered free on Amazon Kindle. Having read & delighted in The Apple & the Thorn I was looking forward to reading Tales of Avalon. The quality was nowhere near as good. Although the tales were nice, the whole reading experience was let down immensely by terrible formatting.

Now I'm not a purist. The occasional spelling mistake or missing punctuation I don't mind. If the story's good I barely notice them. However there was too much to ignore in this book. Headings not distinguished from the rest of the text so they ended up bleeding into the first sentence, dropped speech-marks, characters names changing & the worst... random, broken sentences that left you hunting the pages for the rest of the words. All of this conspired to make Tales of Avalon a headache to read. Which is a shame, as like I said, the tales themselves were enjoyable.

In the end I'd say this book is only worth a try if a) a new, formatted version gets uploaded or b) it becomes free again.… (plus d'informations)
