Lev Grossman: The Bright Sword
In conversation with Helen Marshall
5–6pm, Sunday 11 October, Underground Theatre
Magic, romance, intrigue, battle: there are many reasons Camelot and its storied Knights of the Round Table have been enchanting us for centuries. But The Bright Sword by fantasy sensation Lev Grossman – author of the blockbuster Magicians series – is one of the most bewitching and original reimaginings of Arthurian myth yet. It follows a ragtag group of misfit knights as they grapple with Britain’s future in the wake of the king’s mysterious death. Join Lev on this mystical journey through the dangers and delights of literature’s most legendary court.
