Great idea! I'm glad you're going to share your findings with us. John Gardner's great novel is _Grendel_. Other works include Marion Zimmer Bradley's _The Mists of Avalon_, Ellis Peters' series of Brother Cadfael novels and Rosemary Sutcliff's series of novels set in Roman Britain. Also, don't forget Josephine Tey's _The Daughter of Time_. Chris MacLeod English Department Concord High School 170 Warren St. Concord, NH 03301-2999 e-mail: [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
