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 fantasy 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. This 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.
