Published in 1983, ''The Mists of Avalon'' is a novel by [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]]. It is notable among the [[Memetic Mutation|many, many variants]] in [[King Arthur|Arthurian legend]] due to its approach - the story is told not only through the eyes of a woman, but through the eyes of one of the biggest villains in the legends. The narrator is Morgaine (Morgan le Fay or Morgan of the Fairies), who tells Arthur's tale (and her own) against the backdrop of approaching war with Rome and the Saxons, as well as religious war as Christianity threatens to destroy Avalon and Goddess worship in Britain.
