DESCRIPTION:

When Arthur starts to see stories in the stone, his own life at the manor quickly becomes entwined with that of his namesake, the boy who pulls the sword from the stone. In this many-layered novel, King Arthur is seen as a figure for all time an exemplar to his namesake, a mysterious presence influencing not just one time and place but many. The one hundred short chapters are like snapshots of the past, a pageant crowded with characters: Arthur s jealous older brother, Gatty the forthright village girl, Tanwen the manor maid, and Lady Alice, who entrusts Arthur with a terrible secret. Their individual stories create an eye-opening portrait of medieval life, and shot through with the legends of King Arthur they build to a thrilling climax. The first volume of a trilogy, The Seeing Stone is a unique and brilliant new take on the Arthurian stories.
