Niniane's Place in Popular and Classical Literature
Books that Include Niniane as a Character
Here are some of the books from my vast collection of books on Arthurian legend that include either references to or the actual character of Niniane, also called Vivian, Viviane, Nyneve, Niviane, Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, etc. Some are better known than others (and some of the great classics with her it it contain only minimal referances) and I probably left a few out. All the same...
Most entries should include the year that the book was published (except for a few of the older books) and the name that the Niniane character appears under. The books are arranged in roughly chronological order. Good luck hunting! If you have any questions, or just want to discuss things, feel free to e-mail me at mahkara@hotmail.com.
