Our Exploits at West Poley by Thomas HardyOur Exploits at West Poley by Thomas Hardy

While exploring a cave, two boys divert the course of a stream and set off a strange chain of events. This was Thomas Hardy's one children's story, and the circumstances of its publication are at least as interesting as the story itself. Our Exploits at West Poley was written in 1883 for serial publication in the Youth's Companion and then, despite Hardy's amenability to cutting or other alteration ("possibly the story is too juvenile for your side of the sea")...

Gwenhwyfar - The White SpiritGwenhwyfar - The White Spirit

Lackey's tale is centered around, not surprisingly, Gwenhwyfar (Guinevere), the daughter of one of Arthur's kings. It follows her as she grows up in her father's household, becomes a skilled warrior and scout, and as she becomes wrapped up in Arthur's fall as his last queen. Rather than choose between one version of the tale versus another, Lackey essentially chooses that they are all true and runs with them. For most of the book, it's not really about Arthur at all, with the grand scope of the legend serving as incidental background to the story of Gwenhwyfar's education and exploits in the field. Her education as a soldier is well described, as are her exploits in the field.
