For some odd reason the Matter of Britain leaves me cold. We recently saw the film King Arthur - well, as much of it as I could stand to watch, which wasn't all that much as it happened. Too bad, because they get the late Roman Britain setting right; it was the idiot plot that did me in.

I tell ya, if you actually read South American literature, from whence this concept supposedly sprung, you have a whole other perspective on this purely U.S. classification. Love, C.

It’s beyond me how anyone doesn’t love Arthurian fantasy! I wish I could spend my time reading and writing–but then if I didn’t experience life how would I feed my imagination?
