Product Description

Guardian, 29 November 2003
"King of the Middle March makes a fitting elegiac end to a remarkably grown-up sequence."
--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review
'The last in a trilogy but it stands perfectly on its own and it's beautifully read by Sam West.' (SUNDAY EXPRESS )

'Read by the excellent Sam West, a children's book that adults will find compelling. ' (CHOICE )

'Samuel West's expressive reading makes the story flow, with the only interruption being snatches of shivery music like falling leaves. A superb audio book for the over 11-s.' (DAILY TELEGRAPH )

'It works especially well read aloud, as you would expect, given Kevin Crossley-Holland's talent as a poet, story-teller and folklorist. Samuel West narrated with a minstrel's grace.' (INDEPENDENT ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Arthur Trilogy - King of the Middle March, 11 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I've ever read. In my opinion it is better than even the Harry Potter series.
It is imaginative, thoughtful, funny, and fantastic. I may be a kid but i know a good book when i read one and this is the best.
A must for all people who love fantasy and heroics.

Amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tear Stained Conclusion to A Magical Trilogy, 1 Mar 2004
By A. Weston "Adrian Weston" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Oh dear, blubbing again. Kevin Crossley-Holland can have me howling with sorrow in a very short time. In the first book, Arthur and the Seeing Stone it was the death of little Luke, in this one, well it was practically everything. But don't let the salt water deter any reader - these are wonderful, wonderous books. I was intrigued to see how the author would tie together the parallel worlds of Arthur in the stone and Arthur out of the stone. I was not disappointed. He has pulled off an amazing juggling act, making it all knit together with perfect symmetry. But oh how sad, how tragic, and how sore the reading was. Arthur sees with his heart and with his head at once, a saracen fortune teller informs him: the same could be said of Crossley Holland who writes with both soul and intellect. Laced with a gentle poetry it is in the small details that the power of the writing tells - the little rag doll found in an abandoned room, the petty violence meted out by the crusaders, the smell of spice and jealousy in the air. I can't say more without saying too much. It is enough that this book is everything and more that I had hoped it would be: one of the most enthralling and sophisiticated pieces of writing I have had the fortune to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing Arthur, 13 April 2004
I love these books,is all i can say! I am probably the biggest Arthur stories lover, this retelling was fabulous. I recommend reading these books with a passion because they are so in depth and capture your heart, you feel everything he's going through and sometimes i swear I could almost be there in the book.
I also spoke to my Dad about these books, and being the critical person he is he simply presumed that they were the sterotypical medieval version, but even these books changed his mind completely. They may not be telling the supposedly druid version of Arthur, but they sure are a good read,whatever version you prefer.
Read them, you will be drawn in completely.
