While browsing a B. Dalton bookstore in 1987 I happened upon a book with a glowing sword on the cover. The description talked of Skull Bearers, trolls, dwarfs, elves and a powerful Sword of Shannara. I was sold! That summer I read the entire Original Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks. Over the years I would continue to read any book with the name Terry Brooks across the front. The magic of his words, the castles and keeps, swords, heroes and villains captured my imagination and never let go. The Original Shannara Trilogy is one of the reason I began studying medieval history. Today on the Medieval Archive Podcast we talk to best selling author Terry Brooks about his books and the upcoming TV series The Shannara Chronicles.

What is Medieval Archives?
The Medieval Archives Podcast explores the history, people, stories, and mysteries of the Middle Ages.
Join historian and host Gary, the Archivist, as we dig into the real medieval world, from kings, knights, popes, battles, and political intrigue to ordinary life, strange beliefs, and forgotten stories.
Each episode takes a closer look at the people and events that shaped the medieval world, separating history from legend without taking all the fun out of it.
Whether you’re a longtime medieval history enthusiast or just curious about the Middle Ages, there’s always something waiting in the Archives.
