Why had i never read this book before? What a great story!! I loved the story of Tristan growing up, so that we could see why and how King Mark loved him so much. And i loved that Tristan and Iseault were so cunning in keeping their secret. (And as a dog person, i loved Hodain!) The writing was a little hard to understand, but that's just because of the translation, i think. Overall, wonderful stories. And SO romantic!!!!
