Joy Chant wrote three very nice fantasy novels set in the same world (they
don't really qualify as a trilogy).  It's "The High Kings", however, that's
really special in the fantsy field.  It's a retelling of the pre-Arthurian
British myths  (somewhat in the style of Evangeline Walton's books).   Also
interwoven are discussions of celtic society and culture & (in the hard
cover edition) some really incredible paintings. Ths is one of the few
instances of a "coffee table" book where both the text and pictures are
worth getting.  I've bought three copies of the hardcover (2 as gifts).  I
think that it's still available through the Science Fiction Book Club.
