AIN’S SONG
FOR FURTHER REFERENCE
This is an eclectic collection of books, films, Web sources and recordings. Most are historical; there are
several very good children’s books, historical fiction and reference works. Many are incredibly inaccurate
or just imaginative as, for example, Anouilh’s play, Becket, most films and the Robin Hood and Merlin
series, but they often make for good reading and/or drama. I would especially include the Plaidy Plantagenet Saga as responsible for keeping most of the Eleanor rumors alive. Regine Pernoud’s biography,
Eleanor of Aquitaine, is perhaps the single most accurate source; Alison Weir’s The Captive Queen, the
least so. The Penman novels are both factual and exciting historical reading, and Konigsburg’s A Taste
for Scarlet and Miniver is sheer delightful fantasy. Ains’ story itself is fiction and diverse. It covers many
areas other than her position in historical Aquitaine. Most of these works are part of my own library.
