This is my favorite book (or the following book in the series.)

This is the book that begins the Merlin trilogy. It follows Merlin from his childhood and explains his growing into his power. The book is absolutely ingenious. I am floored by Stewart's ability to look at the old story of Arthur and flesh out the details with such charm and imagination. It is simply written well and is lovely to read. I absolutely love it. I will continue to re-read it over the years.
