First Knight Paperback – 30 Jun 1995

Not that good

Bought this book for a friend, She was delighted with the present. She's read all of Elizabeth Chadwick s books.

good read

have return the book. in poor condition

Much of Elizabeth Chadwick's research is carried out as a member of Regia Anglorum, this is an early medieval re-enactment society.This book is an attempt by the author to relate the love between the famous Sir Lancelot of the Lake and King Arthur's Queen Guinevere. As a lover of all things relating to the fabled King Arthur and his kingdom of Camelot I read and enjoyed the book. But I cannot help but feel that it was written with the possibility of it being made into a film at the back of the author's mind.Hollywood has never been very good at portraying English history and the film they made of this book is no exception. Although many people will have found the film entertaining, it bears no relationship to what Arthur and his knights may have looked like, or their surroundings.Arthur, or someone very much like him may have existed but certainly not as a "suited and booted" knight in shining armour. Something that was not invented until about five hundred years after Arthur may or may not have existed.

i own every book ever written by e.chadwick , and have loved every one of them , can't get enough , live for every new publish, and re- issue , BUT THIS ONE IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS . THE VERY THOUGHT OF THE CAST OF THE FILM , AS LANCELOT AND ARTHUR IS GRINGE MAKING

As a huge fan of Elizabeth Chadwick I was very disappointed by this book. It lacked her usual detail and seemed to be written in a hurry. First Knight (Media Tie-in)

Fantastic book; kept be gripped from start to finish. If you've seen the film, it's really like that; fantastic!
