Idylls of the King by Alfred Tennyson
4.0
A really beautiful set of stories, and it surprised me with how simply yet flowery it was written.
I picked this up after writing an essay about Julia Margaret Cameron, a photographer who was friends with Tennyson and did a photograph series illustrating the Idylls, and Tennyson seemed really cool (I recommend looking up the photographs if you’re interested, they pair really well with the stories).This book was great! Some stories missed me but others were really nice and romantic. :)
