Read this many years ago. I was remember HAVING to read it after having read the Crystal Cave. I seem to recall some future tech was involved, believe it or not. Great good read!
The second book in Mary Stewart's classic Arthurian tale, following The Crystal Cave.
I thought this was the best of her series, but her series is not the best of the Arthurian sagas. Good ... but not as great as Jack Whyte or Lawhead or Attanasio or others I'm not selling!
The best thing I can tell you is, if you like J.R.R Tolkien, you will love this. It has a slow beginning, which can tend to push a reader away, but if you hang in there, it is well worth it. There are many tasks and obstacles that Merlin and his apprentice must overcome, with an action packed conclusion.
Excellent book. I read this series and a teenager and loved it.
Really enjoyed this tale of how Merlin came to be. Interesting & enjoyable.
One of my favorites!
I really like the entire Arthurian series by Mary Stewart
Magic, intrigue and violence brings pre-Camelot England to life.
