Publisher's Summary

Merlin the Enchanter, prophet and visionary, adviser to kings: Here is the story of how he rears Arthur, the future Christmas King, in remote secrecy, safe from the warring kings and Saxons who plot against his father, King Uther. Told in the voice of Merlin himself, this tale bristles with all the suspense and intrigue of fifth-century Britain. Ambrosius is dead, having brought order and progress to the kingdom during his reign. Now the regional kings look to the succession, and Merlin watches and waits, always providing for the security of the boy his prophesies promise will become the greatest king of all.

Too rushed, too abridged

This second volume of Mary Stewart’s trilogy seemed even more and badly abridged than the first. Anyone who had not read the novel could be forgiven for not knowing what was going on. Plus the reader seemed to be in a terrible hurry, rushing through the text with no consideration for the drama and the beauty of the writing. Such a pity, wish someone would do an unabridged, calmly read version.

Abridged

A great book, sadly cut very short. Emphatically NOT recommended. I want my money back.
