The Beguiling of Merlin, by Edward Burne-Jones, 1877
The audiobook of THE DRAGON AND THE UNICORN: The Perilous Order of Camelot (Volume 1) by A. A. Attanasio, read by Pippa Rathborne,
is available for sale on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.
The Dragon and the Unicorn is a work of high fantasy blending Arthurian myths and legends with philosophy, history, theology and science fiction. It tells the story of King Arthur’s mummy and daddy through the wizard Merlin’s eyes. At the heart of the book is Ygrane, who triumphs over adversity in multiple roles, as maiden-sacrifice, witch-queen, wife and mother, whose emotional life seems so vividly real to readers that she rises out of fantasy as a real woman, a once and future heroine.
The author, A. A. Attanasio, has described his pleasure that through the audio version his novel “now wholly partakes of the larger life of performance art”:
“I am mesmerized by the voice you’ve given this novel.”
“A tremendous dramatic experience”; “a virtuoso performance!”; “creative agility”, “artistic elan”, “simpatico clarity”…
A.A. Attanasio, the author of The Dragon and the Unicorn, describing Pippa Rathborne’s reading
of the audio version of his novel.
“What an enrapturing journey you’ve completed with our hearts, Pippa!”
“Without fail, the time I spent in your storyspell upgraded the quality of my day. I got to looking forward to the next installment, for the aesthetic rush of your performance that invariably left me feeling uplifted, strengthened. Somehow – magically! – your artistic élan brightened my own mundane history. That’s the authentic power of art! Thank you for bringing that power to my novel…”
“Congratulations on completing this monumental effort so masterfully! I feel privileged that my text now wholly partakes of the larger life of performance art through your talent.”
