Song Of The Sparrow Lisa Ann Sandell Books

Now the first time I read this book I was 13 and had gotten it as a Christmas gift (I think). I loved the story of an adventure, love and of course at the time my obsession with King Arthur and his knights of the round table.

But now as an adult of 22 and for a time I actually forgotten this story until I had watched the newest King Arthur movie that came out last year. Then I remembered this story unfortunately like many stories you read as a child I couldn't for the life of me remember the whole title yet I could remember the cover with the single word Sparrow. Yet now as an adult I can fully enjoy and appreciate this story for the masterpiece it is. It still made me laugh, smile, tear up and be scared and joyful for the characters.

Absolute want to read; an instant favorite.

Song Of The Sparrow Lisa Ann Sandell Books Reviews

This was so readable and fantastic for teen daughter and Mom enjoyed it as well.
One of my favorite books. Love this so much as a middle student and now several years later I am enjoying it again
I first read this book at the library and fell in love with it! So I decided to buy it!
It's such a wonderful adaption!
I found this book while browsing through 's lists and reviews. Even though there was no summary for the book, I ordered it, based on the lone review, and the fact that I liked the cover.

I was rather surprised to open the book and find it told in verse format (I think that's what it's called - it's not really poems, but like prose or verse). I've never read a book like that, and from the review and lack of summary, I'd assumed it was a novel. I had been ridiculously excited, being a fan of stories like the Round Table and Arthur and medieval times, but a little less thrilled at the format. But I told myself I'd give it a try, read a couple of chapters.

The story was amazing. It's a retelling of Elaine of Ascolat as a teenager in Arthur's (then military leader, not yet King) military camp, surrounded by all the young Knights of the Round Table (Arhtur, Lancelot, Tristan, Gawain). As the only girl, aside from Arthur's older sister, she has a special, unique position in the camp, until beautiful and snobby Gwynivere comes along. Gwynivere also catches the attention and affection of Lancelot, whom Elaine has had a crush on since childhood. Told within this setting and legend is Elaine's growing up, coming-of-age story/moment/adventure.

I don't really understand the purpose of the format, but it read like a really fast book. I finished it in a couple of hours and then immediately went looking for more on the legend of Elaine (aka, the Lady of Shalott - I just kept thinking of that scene from Anne of Green Gables...). I was surprised at the parts of the original legend that made it into this story. This book also re-interested me in Meg Cabot's Avalon High, which I had to track down so I could reread it after reading this amazing version.

Bottom line, great story that sparked further interest in the legend.
Interesting format, interesting story. I'm not totally thrilled, so not a 5.
BOOK AS DESCRIBED, DELIVERY AS ADVERTISED.
Arrived in great condition. My daughter loved it.
