All Merlin knows is the village where he mixes potions for wary customers, and dreams strange dreams that sometimes come true. Then a mysterious hooded man appears, seeking a boy with no mortal father, and Merlin is taken far away, to a crumbling tower and a ruthless king.

To a place where his is not the only magic.


About the Tales from the Round Table series:

Epic battles, thrilling quests and forbidden love combine in the medieval story of the boy who would be king.

A retelling of the Arthurian legends, adapted and illustrated to introduce children aged 7+ to classic folklore. Great to share aloud, just like the original tales.

This book is brilliant! There really isn't enough Arthurian Legend around for younger children. The language, storytelling pace and size of this book are perfect for young readers, nicely introducing them to one of the greatest legends of Britain. I really can't wait to read the rest of the series as it comes out and will definitely be recommending it to my customers.
