The Mists of Avalon is the story of Morgaine, who is not an evil sorceress who wishes to destroy Arthur, but his doting half-sister and a priestess of Avalon who is trying to save her religion in the face of encroaching Christianity. When I came across the TNT miniseries adaptation at my school library, I was downright curious about how such an adaptation would even be feasible.
And I mean huge in all senses of the word–not only was its impact huge, but it’s also over nine hundred pages long. Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon is absolutely huge, when it comes to feminist retellings of legends, giving voice and dignity to the oft-maligned Morgaine le Fay. Based on the novel The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
