radcarlawho's review against another edition

This review is only for Diana Gabaldon's story (The Castellan). I really enjoyed this story. It was interesting to see what she can do in a different genre. I think it is really cool that she wrote this story with her son, Sam--he has since been published on his own under the pen name Samuel Sykes.

Includes stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diana Gabaldon, among other writers. Enjoyable, particularly for medieval/fantasy/King Arthur buffs.

I picked up this paperback for $1 at a used bookstore on a whim, and was delighted at how enjoyable it was. Each of the 15 stories in this collection average around 15-25 pages, making it easy to pick up the book and read a quick story before bed.
Some stories were obviously better than others, but happily there weren't any that were truly terrible. I enjoyed each of the author's different tales on historical tales and putting their own spin on them.
I've always been a fan of Arthurian legends, Merlin in particular. There were a few myths I wasn't familiar with, and a few told almost opposite of the traditional tellings.
My favorite story in this collection was Marwysgafn (Deathbed Song) by Eric Van Lustbader - a story about King Arthur's dying moments and the feelings and memories and people of his life. Incredibly absorbing, it really sucked me right in.

A very bad book.
Some stories are lovely others are just strange.
Still I love the cover. ;)
