Thank you very much for your comment and glad you liked Bisclavret. I have toyed with the idea of reworking some more of her stories, but Chretien would truly be an epic task! Who knows one day ...?I will look into adding the other two titles. Usually these things get automatically imported if they're on Amazon, but I think I can manually add.
Years ago in a Mediaeval French literature class we were given the option, in lieu of writing a regular essay, to compose a miniature Arthurian-type romance which would show that we had learned the conventions of the literature, i.e. courtly love, battle with ugly evil giant, magical animals and objects, training in knightly combat, rescue of imprisoned princess, a few biblical and mythological motifs, etc. It was not easy but it was a lot of fun. Fortunately, we did not have to write it in mediaeval French verse.Thank you for the link to the free book!
Excuse me for asking an orkward question, but I just want to clarify something. Is "Holiday with the Orcs" the same story as "Holiday in Orkrainia?"
Yes it is! I changed the title - looks like it hasn't updated in Goodreads!

Thank you, Mark! I will add it to my shelves.
I have downloaded the three free books and read Wilderness Upgraded, which was very tense and exciting. But it's the only one in the Goodreads system so far. Could you possibly put the others in too, so that I can read them and include them in my challenge?
By the way, having read the original Bisclavret by Marie de France years ago, I loved your reworking of it. I read and reviewed it last year. I can't wait for you to tackle Chretien de Troyes! LOL.
