This spellbinding story is a tale of two Arthurs. One, Arthur de Caldicot, is a boy living in the Welsh Marches in 1199; the other is his legendary namesake. As young Arthur looks into the seeing stone given him by his father's friend Merlin, he begins to find secrets in his own life that mysteriously parallel the stories of King Arthur. Reviews: 'Every age needs its hero slumbering under the hill until need awakes him. All thanks to Kevin Crossley-Holland for this wholly wonderful awakening' TES (Children's Book of the Week) 'truly a cross-over book, settling in the interesting space between children's and adult fiction ...These 100 tightly-written chapters of crisp dialogue and razor sharp detail bring the medieval world ...crackling into life' The Times)
