The Mists of Avalon
Marion Zimmer Bradley · Alfred A. Knopf (New York) · 1982
US first: Alfred A. Knopf (New York, 1982). No original-language question arises — the book was written in English. The UK first is Michael Joseph (London, 1983; ISBN 0-7181-2270-4), which follows the Knopf and is collected as the British first, not the true first. Where both are collected, the Knopf 1982 is the edition of record and the Michael Joseph is the secondary English-market first.
