Product details

Arthur:The Seeing Stone is an extraordinary novel, contemporary in feel but with its roots deep in the past. One hundred short chapters give snapshots of both the mythical world of King Arthur and the day-to-day existence of a young boy growing up in 1199, and as the two begin to touch on each other's lives the story develops into a multi-layered novel with a depth and intensity that maintains a page-turning, easy-to-read--yet at the same time challenging--quality that is somehow unique.
Arthur: The Seeing Stone is an absolute must-read, written with a rich and earthy gusto that, combined with Kevin Crossley-Holland's authorative attention to the details of the Middle Ages, quite simply takes the breath away. (Age 9 and over) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Crossley-Holland has written a wonderful story, with some fantastic characters, even those who appear only briefly. The book includes a list of characters to help the reader keep track of who is who, a word list of Medieval terms, and lovely maps of Caldicot Manor and the land surrounding it.
The Seeing Stone is a real treat for readers of 9 up to adult. I just hope the next two books are as good!
