Stories of Merlin

by Russell Punter (Retold by)

Three atmospheric adventures tell the life story of the legendary wizard - from his boyhood encounter with King Vortigern at a dragon tower, through his guardianship of King Arthur, to his fateful relationship with the scheming enchantress Nimue. Every page features fresh, dynamic illustrations that bring the magical medieval world to life in a modern, graphic style for a new generation. Easy-to-read text encourages even the most reluctant reader to lose themselves in these classic tales of swords and sorcery. This title is part of the successful "Usborne Young Reading" series, developed with a reading expert from the University of Roehampton.
