King Richard Henry Michael Bledgabred Taillefer, King of Avalon, Darian, Longshore, and the Western Isles, Duke of Lemaire-over-the-Sea, Count of Borghame, Chosen of God and, by His Gracious Might, Anointed among Men. Taken with Arianne’s beauty and silence, he takes her back to his castle.Īs soon as I read Richard’s full name, I knew this was a farce. Trying to find a wife, Richard has almost given up because all the women he meets talk too much. While she works at this task, King Richard of Avalon stumbles across her cottage in the woods. And she can’t go home until she finishes. She has to knit 12 shirts out of nettles gathered by moonlight in complete silence.
As the main caretaker of her 12 younger brothers, she is the one who must come to their rescue when they are turned into swans. Lovers of fairy tales will enjoy the fanciful twist Kate Holmes puts on a classic fairy tale in The Wild Swans.
