THE FOREST HOUSE by Marion Zimmer Bradley
I recently finished The Forest House, Marion Zimmer Bradley’s prequel to The Mists of Avalon. What a compelling and fascinating read, both for recreation and research.
While writing my novel, My Father’s Magic, I did a great deal of research into the history of Goddess-based spirituality as well as the Roman expansion through what is now France, Germany and England. So, upon reading The Forest House with its priestesses and Druid priests at a time when Rome sought to conquer the last remnant of Britannic resistance, I felt like a par
t of me had come home.
Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon has long been on my “to read” list. Looks like it will be moving up!
