Description

The extraordinary story of a boy called Wart ignored by everyone except his tutor, Merlyn who goes on to become King Arthur.

Come, sword, said the Wart. He took hold of the handles with both hands, and strained against the stone but nothing moved

When the wizard Merlyn comes to tutor Sir Ectors sons, Kay and the Wart, studying suddenly becomes much more exciting. After all, who wouldnt enjoy being turned into a fish, or a badger, or a snake

But the Wart is destined for greater things and Merlyns magical teachings are only the beginning of his amazing future
