Synopsis

The stories in this book can be read individually but also come together in a single narrative. This concerns not only King Arthur and his warriors but introduces their Celtic god, Idris, who has five daughters, the youngest of whom has rebelled against him. Revengeful and malignant she has turned her attention to the destruction of the King and the everlasting imprisonment of Merlin. The narrative progresses in time to the tenth story which introduces Curnan Reilly from Boston USA. In 1936 he sets out on the dangerous quest to find the last resting place of the King. This is a Cave at the entrance of which hangs the bell which if rung will summon Arthur and his companions as the dark clouds of imminent war start to gather. • Idris and Arthur • Eagles and Bears • The Riddle of the Lake • Rhita Gawr • Sir Gawain and the Green Knight • Merlin’s Tree • Lancelot and Gawain • Ogof Y Meirw • The Release of Merlin • Crossing the Ravine Author, Michael Kerr Scott, retells the old and introduces the new in this exciting book for old and young alike, which takes us into the mythical world of Arthur, King of the Celts and the Lands Beyond.

About this title

About the Author

Michael Kerr Scott is the Pen name for the fictional work of an established author, editor and general editor of over 50 books. Living in both Provence and the UK he is a writer who brings a fresh perspective to legends and stories whether medieval or Elizabethan or Jacobean, including Shakespearean. His most recent book is Arthur: Legends of the King which typifies his approach blending old Celtic legends for example with completely new stories including one that begins with the maiden voyage of the haunted ship the RMS Queen Mary in 1936. It introduces to us Curnan Reilly a man distant in time but perhaps neither character nor allegiance from the Arthurian Knights of distant days.
