The story of Merlin and King Arthur continues in the second of Mary Stewart's beloved Arthurian Saga.... the story of Excalibur, the sword of kings.
The second in Mary Stewart's magnificent Merlin trilogy after The Crystal Cave
The countryside of England and Wales in the Dark Ages forms an almost tangible background to this wonderfully and powerfully realised picture of an ancestral hero coming to manhood.
The Hollow Hills is the brilliant portrayal of the young Arthur from his birth to accession to the throne of Britain. And behind and around him is the strong, yet vulnerable figure of Merlin who sees and knows so much but is powerless to prevent the strife and violence of his turbulent times.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
A real spell-binder, praised by the Sunday Telegraph, with compelling chases, battles, and thrills noted by the Daily Mirror. The book is celebrated as a fascinating re-creation of the King Arthur legend by Newsweek, while The Times commends Mary Stewart's storytelling prowess. The Washington Times finds it superb and lyrical.
