About this product

Product Information

It takes a truly great storyteller to make an old story as fresh and compelling as the first time it was told. In The Winter King, Bernard Cornwell, who has been called one of the most accomplished and stylish storytellers now writing (Kirkus Reviews), tells the tale he was meant to tell: the mythic saga of King Arthur. Powerful and dramatic.--Sharon Kay Penman.

  • I was sorely disappointed in the content of the book.

    Bernard Cornwell is a marvelous story teller. I have read all of his Waterloo books and all of the Sharpe's novels. They are so much fun that I read them when I don't have anything else to read. Now to "Winter King." It is boring. It has too much detail and he has me into a story before I am even slightly sympathetic with the characters. Too much ignorance and too much superstition.That's fine for people of that era but to me, it is boring. I would rather have the fantasy. Or Sir Thomas Malory's "The Romance of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table." Bernard Cornwell's novel is well written but boring. I apologize for belaboring the point. I would send my copy to anyone who wants to read it but I cannot. It has gone the way of the hairy white buffalo: the recycle bin. I seldom throw ...

  • Camelot this ISN'T. VERY different from other Arthur.

    This is definitely not your typical Arthur. Oddly enough, there is little proof that Arthur existed in the great way he is now known in legend to have been. Obviously, the magic, Excalibur, Camelot, the Round Table and the 'Holy Grail' type additions were very well used literary tools to create a legend bigger than itself in many tales. What Cornwell has accomplished in this novel is to bring the story back down to earth in a very real and incredible way; this is an Arthur who lived in a real world, with superstitions and gods of many religions, but no magic to speak of, rather just man's overwhelming ability to allow fear and misunderstanding to create belief in magic, spells, wizardry and monsters. To be fair, that may disappoint Arthurian legend lovers of the mystical tale. This is not ...

  • Cromwell: The Winter King

    The only problem with Cromwell's novels is that once you get started, it is hard to stop. This can be a problem, since many are serialized and, of course you will want to read them all. If you like historical novels with interesting fictionalized characters and a strong emphasis on military history and vivid battle descriptions, look no further. They are a bit uneven in quality (I thought Stonehenge very slow to develop, and the second in the Starbuck series "Copperhead" not nearly as interesting as the other three), but this is nitpicking. The subject of the review, however is "The Winter King" and it is excellent throughout. The Merlin and Arthur that we experienced through Disney and other childhood tales is very different from what we see here. Arthur is a deeply conflicted but gifted ...

  • A narrative story...done from a soldier under Arthor.

    I loved that the writer wrote this from a soldier under Arthor who is a Warlord and not a King. I love that Arthor was not a King and didn't want or think of being a King. My sister originally bought the first book and I read it after she was done...I got so caught up in the book that I read it quickly without any effort. Then I bought the other two and read them just as quickly. I save the books I love and re-read them at a later date...it's like a movie you watch again...you see things you missed the first time. My new husband and I bought a house and he threw all my books out :( These books are so good I had to re-buy them and threatened him with life long pain if he ever got near my books again. It is a must read. I didn't find anything I didn't like in this book:)

  • Excellent , Mr. Cornwell

    Great time in history, great author.
