This
addition to the fabulous trove of stories
surrounding King Arthur focuses on the
childhood of the famed character known to
legend as Merlin. Follow (if you dare) his
path around an island hovering between two
separate worlds - each with its own set of
rules. Fans of Celtic folklore will
find many familiar characters who try to
prevent Merlin from accomplishing his
goals. Best yet is the knowledge
that Merlin will lure you onward through
four more volumes filled with sorcery
(both good and evil), bravery and luck,
for as Merlin grows, so do the challenges
to his abilities. (Jeannie
