One of the most inventive and charming
retellings of the Arthurian legend, this is
the final part of The Once and Future
King. In these last two books, the ageing
king faces the greatest challenge of his
reign, when his own son threatens to
overthrow him and destroy everything he
has worked for. In The Book of Merlyn,
Arthur’s tutor Merlyn reappears, and the
ancient magician teaches him that, even
in the face of apparent ruin, there is still
hope.
