This project is complete and all files are now available here:

I was in the mood for a little romance, so I took a break from my other readings, and did this. I've finished recording the whole thing, so I just need to upload it and get it proof-listened.

How very cool! I'm looking forward to hearing it. I've been curious about Tristan and Isolde since I discovered that it's one of the things Chaucer wrote about too. It'll be great to hear Joseph B?dier's take on the tale.

I really love the interconnectedness of all this literature. I was listening to Annie's reading of Huck Finn the other day and was fascinated that one of the books Huck read was The Pilgrim's Progress, which I had listened to myself previously.

Looking forward to the upload!

Thadine, I coded this one as a Short Work, but do you think it would be better suited as a full book? (I'm just thinking ahead to where it will live on the catalog index page).

Hmm... it's 25,700 words long. Would that still be considered a short work? I'll let you decide :)

Yay! It's all done.

Summary:
This is the Arthurian legend of Tristan and Iseult. It is a tale of love, honour, intrigue, betrayal and jealousy, ending ultimately in tragedy. This story predates that of Lancelot and Guinevere, and it one of the most influential romances of the medieval period, inspiring many artists, from story-tellers to painters to composers.

Looks good. Typo in the summary (my fault)

Currently says:
This story predates that of Lancelot and Guinevere, and it one of the most influential romances of the medieval period...

Should say (without the bold)
This story predates that of Lancelot and Guinevere, and is one of the most influential romances of the medieval period

I must agree with Chip. I'm partway through and am loving it immensely.
