Wander over here to read my thoughts on Arthurian literature.

So do you think the Jo Walton series is about multiculturalism, the need to accept other races into your country and tolerate their cultures and religions?

Because that is certainly relevant to our time.

I really must get my hands on the sequel...

I urge you again to get hold of Sword at Sunset (http://www.amazon.com/Sword-at-Sunset-Rosemary-Sutcliff/dp/1556527594/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214784681&sr=1-1). You can also read The Lantern Bearers (http://www.amazon.com/Lantern-Bearers-Rosemary-Sutcliff/dp/0374443025/ref=pd_cp_b_2?pf_rd_p=317711001&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1556527594&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1ZZERRCRYK8J064AJFWP), which is a wonderful book in its own right - possibly the best of her Roman Britain children's books - and which comes immediately before Sword at Sunset, featuring a young Artos (Arthur) as a minor character.

Yeah, I think what you say about the Walton books is entirely correct - that a culture is made stronger when it's multicultural.

I'm definitely going to check out Sword at Sunset. It's actually at the library, which is fantastic.
