And may she who hath cast the first stone repenteth mightily and correct the error of her spelling ways, muttering 'Sorry Buzzfloyd, won't do it again,' under her breath.

Unfortunately I am working blindly on the Authors' names, so feel free to correct me. My books are in storage in another country. :cry:

Heh. I normally try to restrain my pedantry, but since it matters to you too, I thought you wouldn't mind.

By the way, you don't need to sign all your posts, as we can see who wrote them!

May I suggest Evangeline Walton's excellent series based on the Mabinogion, the Welsh national epic - Prince of Annwn, The Island of the Mighty, The Children of Llyr, and The Song of Rhiannon, all from the late 60's or early 70's.

Or The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, by Patricia A. McKillip, from the same period.

Another good choice would be The Dreamstone and The Tree of Swords and Jewels, by C. J. Cherryh.

I hope you can still find them - it's possible they're all out of print.

Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley is a corker. Very much in the "Song of Ice and Fire" mould.

Is "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan not an appropriate candidate?

It is, so much so that it got its own thread here: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time

Ah,thanks!
