Marion Zimmer Bradley's most famous work is the Darkover series. I've
listed them in approximate order of internal chronology (although I'm
certain I've gotten some of it wrong). She's taken an interesting approach
to the internal consistency of the series: If she later decides that she
earlier wrote something badly (which happens early in your carrer), she
feels free to ignore those portions which she would do differntly now.
This can frustrate readers that keep a close eye on the internal logic of a
series, but it does free the author to write better stories when her
writing skills have improved.
And as you can see, while Darkover forms a large portion of her work it is
by no means all. Another major theme is revisionist legends (Arthur - "The
Mists of Avalon", Mozart - "Night's Daughter" & Troy - "The Firebrand").
Personally I recommend Darkover stories from the Age of Chaos
("Stormqueen!" & "Hawkmistress!") and "The Mists of Avalon" (provided you
don't mind revisionist arthurian legends).
