"The legend that lives forever."
THE TWISTED ROOTS OF by Chuck Lewis
Centerline Lookbooks, 1991, 2005, CD-ROM, 4.5 MB*
"This informal study of the romantic and fanciful King Arthur legend examines forty selected literary efforts at presenting the Arthur story as written from the 500s to 1980. The difference here, however, is that only those tales with supposed genealogical data for Arthur’s family are reviewed. "Although this treatise is brief, it does demonstrate the sheer fallacy of the legend, and is a good guide to Arthurian literature up through the past fifteen centuries. It can serve as an introduction and starting place for anyone wanting to study the subject. Besides the forty literary reviews, there is also a series of twenty-four genealogy charts included to reflect many of those books. A bibliography of seventy-three literary references is also offered." (Synopsis from CD insert).
BOOK REVIEWS
WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TWISTED ROOTS
"The book was interesting and very enlightening ... We really appreciated the bibliography, because it references so many more books that we now want to read." (Mr. and Mrs. Floyd G.; Pleasant Valley, New York).
"Very interesting ... and thought-provoking. I will think of this book every time I see a King Arthur movie or read a book about him. Thanks for something a little different." (Bill; Mesa, Arizona).
"I thought all the stories about Arthur in the books and movies were based on fact, but this book educated me. The only thing is, it's like finding out there's no Santa Clause!" (Cathy; Phoenix, Arizona).
