In Merlin And Company Alvaro Cunquerio creates a fantastical framework within which he envokes ancient myths and settings that are coloured by his own lively wit and perceptions.In the world which Cunquerio conjures up,magic has quite literally gone into retirement:the court magician merlin seeks seclusion in a Galician house well away from the public eye.However,his spells remain very much in demand and princes and kings beat a path to his door to ask for his assistance.This,the last legend of Merlin,remains a spell binding tribute to thestory telling skills of one of Spains leading authors.
