S.W. Wilcox (swwilcox) | 3 comments HI! I write and mod-review Arthurian England type fiction. Here's a Listopia list I made that helps guide me--Indie Goodreads authors only. Perhaps members can make/post their fav List here in this thread.

Thanks for sharing!

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) | 14 comments That's a sizeable list of titles.

But: I don't see Mary Stewart's Arthur series, is it listed but I'm just overlooking it somehow?

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) | 14 comments For that matter, where's T.H. White?

I would say that Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" ...and John Steinbeck's "The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights" are also deserving mention.

Otherwise, good job assembling all those books...

S.W. Wilcox (swwilcox) | 3 comments Lol, my post is five years old. I tried to differentiate the list from typical Arthurian ones by limiting it to "Indie Goodreads fiction authors only". I don't know why "indie" isn't in the title, perhaps mods removed it? Or maybe I did, to widen participation which has been about a crawl? Anyhow, I was hoping when people added a book they'd comment on "books that offer more than battle and heir-making. Romantic, mystical, comedic, what makes it different from nonfiction?" So far only one major-publisher author, Bernard Cornwell, has been voted onto the list -- which, strangely, I the list-starter can't delete.

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) | 14 comments Beg pardon if I sounded in any way critical. I'm sure the list benefits many new readers who are discovering the material for the first time.

S.W. Wilcox (swwilcox) | 3 comments No problem at all: wish it'd get more attention...

Nope, nothing was removed from the original post or title.
