Lady of Shalott
A ChessCentral E-Book
The Lady of Shalott is a magical being who lives alone on an island upstream
from King Arthur's Camelot. Her portion in life is to gaze at the outside world
through her mirror, weaving what she sees into a tapestry. Forbidden by
magic, she can not look at the outside world directly.
By chance she sees the reflection of Sir Lancelot riding toward Camelot.
Although she knows that it is forbidden, she looks out the window at him. The
mirror shatters, the tapestry flies off on the wind, and the Lady feels the
power of her curse.
