Arthurian Literature

Der Druide Merlin, wer war er wirklich? Als Merlin 520 n. Chr. einsam in den Wäldern Kaledoniens sein Ende nahen sieht, blickt er auf ein bewegtes Leben zurück: Einst erzog er den kleinen Arthur zum König und war ihm stets ein treuer Begleiter. Später führte er die Britannier erfolgreich gegen die Germanen an, nun geht er als sagenumwobener Weiser auf seine letzte Reise in die Anderswelt. Das packende Hörbuch, recherchiert aufgrund bisher kaum bekannter historischer Quellen, entführt den Hörer in die faszinierende Welt der Kelten.

Clad in armor, with sword and shield at the ready, Holger remains in an enchanted sleep--ever with one eye open--and only to awake should danger ever rise again to threaten his beloved Denmark.
