The Story Behind This Book

For over 15 years, I taught The Once and Future King to my high school honors freshmen. When I would ask what they knew of Guinevere, many had heard nothing about her. For those students who had heard of her, all they remembered was that she cheated on Arthur with Lancelot and brought down Camelot! I searched for stories of Guinevere, but found nothing that I felt did her justice. So, I decided to write her story myself: Guinevere: On the Eve of Legend tells the story of a twelve-year old girl who finds herself promised to an older man, King Arthur.
