Greer Woodward

Excerpt: 
She watched as he approached the castle gate, weary from another failed return to Camelot. At dusk she would call for the sorceress. They would take the silken cap, and chant old words and sing old rhymes, until the cap was bright as golden hair and the sewn-in pearls were the circlet of a queen. When she donned the cap, he would be there, beside the door. “Welcome, brave Lancelot,” the sorceress would say, “I wish you joy, you and the lady Queen.” -- from "The Sorrows of Elaine."
