I loved Bernard Cornwell's version of the story (though Mary Stewart's books will always have a special place in my heart). Made everything seem more "real" somehow. well, real isn't exactly the word... I've only read one of his though ( I can't remember the title and all my books are still in boxes from my move...oops), in my arthurian lit. class.. need to pick up the others but first I need book buying money. I miss having book buying money...
