Of Swords and Parasols

Maybe reading 3 versions of the same story in a relatively short period of time wasn't a good idea? Or maybe it was and just helped point out the various flaws. None of the 3 books I read hugely deviated from the myth's basic plot, except maybe McKenzie in what seems to have been an attempt at making the story and pure and semi-wholesome true love. I kind of wanted to wait on posting about them until I'd read Sutcliff's version, but I want to read Sword at Sunset before reading any of her other Arthuriana. IIRC, all three versions called Brangiane 'Branwen,' so that's what I'm going with. All three also took the "generation after Arthur" approach.

( comments are presumptuous and assume familiarity with the story )

P.S.: Yes, I have read Gerald Morris’s The Ballad of Sir Dinadan (actually, it’s the next-to-most-recent book I read) but while it heavily features the Tristan and Isolde myth, it’s not actually about them.
