Description for The Fourth Gwenevere
Paperback. With a new Gwenevere manuscript recently found, bestseller John James returns with this witty, serpentine novel, which weaves the Arthurian legends into the wider fabric of the struggle for Europe. Num Pages: 304 pages. BIC Classification: FM; FQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 130 x 23. Weight in Grams: 214.

Gwenevere, Arthur's Saxon wife, is a problem. As the dynastic cement between the British and the Saxons, her marriage to Arthur will result in a child that will unite both sides. At least, that would have been the plan, had the Great Duke Arthur not died (accidentally and not at all heroically) and left the petty kings of Britain to squabble over his title.
