Cupertino, CA. Lines: 20 For those who like books like Shadow of the Torturer and the Tolkien series, I have been reading T.H. White's 'The Once and Future King' and recommend it as highly as I do the Urth books. For those that don't know, it is the story of King Arthur and Camelot ('Its only a model.' 'Shh!') and is a very good piece of fiction. There is a companion book 'The Last Book of Merlyn' that I am looking forward to. This brings up a very interesting question. How many versions of Camelot have been done? I can think of some of the more obvious ones, such as 'Camelot' the movie and play (the play was done last fall by Richard Harris for HBO and was fantastic) and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. The new book 'Mists of Avalon' tells the story of Arthur from the point of Guenever. If you can think of other variations of the Camelot history, let me know. Replies probably should come to me, and I will summarize, just to keep the volume down... -- >From the dungeons of the Warlock: Chuck Von Rospach ucbvax!amd70!packet!cfv (chuqui@mit-mc) <- obsolete!
