ABANDONED. Arthur and Merlin “Coming of Age” book

[Martha]

Read this book in 1994. A blacksmith played a large role in the book. Arthur was obsessed with his Hurley stick.

Maybe one of these?

I immediately thought of The Sword in the Stone (it's the only "kid" King Arthur I read), but I just looked it up and I could find nothing about a blacksmith or a hurley. It's available at the Internet Archive if you want to look it up yourself (you need to be a member to "take out" books, but membership is free; you only need to give them an e-mail address).

Thank you, but it is not The Sword in the Stone.

[Anne]

Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart?

[El]

The Crystal Cave for Anne's suggestion

[Martha]

Thank you, but it is not The Crystal Cave.

Maybe the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead starts with Taliesin? Link to entire series... https://www.goodreads.com/series/4148...

**Book 2 it Merlin, and book 3 is Arthur.

Merlin was the black smith, and Nimue was his adopted daughter, or niece. The novel was told from the point of Pelleas, I think, who became Merlin's apprentice. Merlin, Nimue, and Pellas all seemed to have telepathy/empathy.

What book are you talking about, Clifford?

[Martha]

The Pendragon Cycleis not it, sorry.
